CIRCULATION


“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” 
                                                                                             Thich Naht Hanh

Circulation 

Violet sky whispers light,
soaking color from the lotus.

Late lauders of the break
sing diligently hallelujah.

Soft gossamer haze lifts
from mossy cobblestone
giving truth to daylight.

Spirituality begins with earth,
ascending life’s energy,
humming with each bone.

The apex of the heightened
heart descends peacefully
in moments of silence.

Sitting quietly, the inner chatter
begins to settle and anchor.

Cyclical posture is the river
rising to a chosen passage.

In the noise, there is silence
without the rise of the hands,

without the voice of reason,
God’s wisdom will proclaim.

    I hear the hallelujah loudly in this poem. Yes, spirituality begins with earth and goes from there....

    A lovely reminder to take time for prayer/meditation. I especially like:

    Spirituality begins with earth,
    ascending life’s energy,
    humming with each bone

    In the noise, there is silence
    without the rise of the hands...so beautifully captured...

    (just a small remark on word verification...trying for the third time now...almost unreadable..ugh..will give up if it doesn't come through this time...)
