Refuge: A Soul Motion Worskhop in the Foothills 9/10/11

Held in the embrace of Moonbear’s 30' yurt on gorgeous land in the Sierra foothills, we’ll inspire and be inspired by each other to move with confidence and courage. Traveling the spiral pathways to our most intimate dance, we’ll expand to include our fellow travelers in dialogue, discourse and divine prayer. We’ll also have the opportunity to walk the labyrinth adjacent to our dance space. Please bring water, lunch and whatever else you need to support you in this day of refuge and rejuvenation. Bask in supple guidance and spacious music. And we will dance. Oh, yes, we will dance.

The fine, fine wind that takes its course through the chaos of the world

Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me!
A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time.

If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it carry me!
If only I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a winged gift!
If only, most lovely of all, I yield myself and am borrowed
By the fine, fine wind that takes its course through the chaos of the world
Like a fine, an exquisite chisel, a wedge-blade inserted;

If only I am keen and hard like the sheer tip of a wedge
Driven by invisible blows,
The rock will split, we shall come at the wonder, we shall find the Hesperides.



Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul,

I would be a good fountain, a good well-head,

Would blur no whisper, spoil no expression.



What is the knocking?
What is the knocking at the door in the night?

It is somebody wants to do us harm.


No, no, it is the three strange angels.

Admit them, admit them.
– DH Lawrence

Rising to the Occasion

 

Rooted in the soul's body, 

Ready to rise and shine,

No matter what the weather,

Inside and out

Above and below 

Around and within.

It Is a Good Day

Landforms, clouds. Trees in mist, always possible. Choice? Walk. Into, out of, through. And then we die.

the dynamic stillness

it is here
in the breath
it is here
in the stillness between breaths
     it is here
     in the active mind
     it is here
     in the resting mind
it is here
in the dream's panorama
it is here
in each moment of awakening
     it is here
     when all is well
     it is here
     when fear has nothing left to fear
even then
there is pure noticing
even then
there is no need for doing
     no frantic searching
     can find the obvious
     no seeking needed
     to find that which seeks
it is here
where it can never be lost
or found

Torn Almost in Two

It's never too late to burn the fuel of desire.
