A Timeless Moment

I take several full breaths
Allowing my inner and outer world to connect
I awaken my senses-
to feel the aliveness of this moment

Slow and steady
No need to rush
Even to write all this down
My connection to the present moment
To my breath
To the conscious awakening of my senses
Bringing me into my self
As I embrace my oneness
My connection with life

I let the sounds of nature
Sing to me
The delicate raindrops
That touch upon the roof of my car
As if this symbolizes
Nature touching the crown of my being
Cleansing the car that I sit in
Cleansing the ego of my mind
So that I may be where life is

In this sweet moment
In moments that arise in me
The thought of rushing to put these words down
At first, clearly uninvited
and then...
I now invite them into my state of allowing
I breath, I see, I hear, I observe
All that flows around me-
and in me
I hear the occasional wave crash against the shore
And see it dissolving back into the source of its whole
With this,
The Earth's essence speaks to me
Hear the thoughts that crash against your source
And as you see them,
they dissolve back to its source
The one who carries the space for them
As the ocean carries the space for the waves to crash upon the shore

As I open my eyes
And I listen with my ears
I open my senses
to the wisdom of our Sweet Mother Earth
And as she talks,
I listen
And I see the reflections she offers to me
When I am open
Is when I can see

The bell of consciousness
Awakens me from my dreams
Remembering my connections-
and reflections
To life in me-
and around me.
