The Speed of a Bead

The Speed of a Bead

drop a bead and let it go
the slope of the ground…fast or slow?
observe the bead as it does roll
sensitive to the ground as a whole

now don’t assume the bead is round
a different shape can hit the ground
if it is cubed or angular in form
it may stay where it lands and not perform

so the speed of a bead from still to fast
depends on the circumstances when it’s cast
and all we can do is observe and wait
and practice not to anticipate

allow its journey, watch and learn
every bead can also adjourn
its travels, its speed, the path it took
having met resistance or finding a nook

Frontiers

Frontiers

exploration of the new frontiers
conscious attunement to the atmospheres
positioning, transitioning, movement then still
all senses aware they’ve been emptied until…

from retraction, compaction, action ignites
and as birds of the dawn we lift off on new flights
our senses join new ones to record and collate
our flights documented so others can relate

the frontiers feel so timeless, no beginning or end
able to see all aspects thru our reconnaissance lens
able to project into situations and settings
experiencing the diversity, allowing and letting

letting go, it is gone, the need to control
to protect, interject, interrupt the flow
instead the observer, conducting our journeys
freely connecting with others sharing the learnings

communication, in relation with all encountered and
fully experiencing all directions and the ability to expand
new frontiers will keep unfolding as we continue to explore
always seeking
multi-dimensionally re-speaking
as we become the More

The Magic of Us

The Magic of Us

All aboard
Come on the school bus
We are going on a “field” trip
to visit the Magic of Us

We’re not going to the zoo
or to the firehall
We are going to a place
that encompasses it all

The funny thing that is
is we do not have to leave
for to find the place we’re going
we’re in the warp and weave

We are there right now
School bus and all
and we are so connected
we can read it on the wall

Place your hands right there
gently upon your hearts
Breathe into that space
for that is where it starts

We don’t need to fly from here
into outer space
We can feel our connectiveness
breathing love and breathing grace

Breathe in the Air
invisible but there
Feel now the Earth
and her vibration of mirth

See now the Sun
and feel your Fire within
and realize that in Water
is where life did begin

The elemental magic
The mix and mixing bowl
We were individuated
yet only as One are we whole

We cannot move without
sending out a ripple
and that ripple bumps another
and goes ripple, ripple, ripple

The Air that we breathe
The Earth and the Fire
The Water that we’re made of
We share we don’t acquire

Every thought that we think
Every feeling that we’ve had
Resonates with others
Sad, mad or glad
Welcome to my pad

Perhaps we should end here
for the journey never ends
The Magic of Us expands from within
expanding the love that each intends
