In this dream we have fleshy animal bodies, subtle nervous systems and active, creative brains. In this dream we have been conditioned to believe things about ourselves, others and the world that aren’t true, but kept us safe when we didn’t know what else to do.

Will you hold me? as all that hides

This heart

Undresses

And we stand naked

As all time

And all being

In the great unbecoming

That is our undivided life

Taste the passion

Of summer love

Oh! The people we are

When we can shed off

The protective layers

Of self-consciousness

The seasonal clothing of “too much to do”

And “never enough time”

To the part that swims into the unknown

And flys with their flock

To the part who rises above, and looks back into it’s nature

To the part who plays in the chaos of life

It isn’t praise-worthy or intelligent

How the relic

With no arms

Stands

Precisely in his place

On the altar

What if you let go

Of comparison

And said Yes!

To the magic

That comes to us each

In the way

We can receive

Welcome Child

To this place of earth

To the soils that root the trees +plants

That hold the water

That sustains this life

You will come to know this earth in many ways

Each experience will be your own
