Friday, March 28, 2014 — Awareness

Today, just noticing
where my awareness is at.
Taking time out
to experience
what it is like
to feel again.
Learning to own my
suffering, sadness, struggle.
Looking to hold a space for
rest, resilience, and re-birth.
Waking up my senses
towards this experience of
becoming whole-hearted:
seeing,
smelling,
touching,
hearing,
tasting
how my life
appears to me
at this time.
To feel the feeling
The agony of being a self.
To remember the mystery
Of everything that is going on
right now, right here
in this moving moment.
Drawing living water
from an ancient well and
falling in love with God
all over again.
