The Listener
Heron appears and I am drawn in, captivated
Heron invites stillness by the flowing river
Heron brings me joy
Track and observe the patterns
You don't have to know the meaning
The answer is never the answer
What's really interesting is the Mystery
Coming home is coming alive
Resistance and judgement show up
The conditioning to be right
Leads to the suffocation of judgement
Like chains tying my hands together
Constricting my ability to touch the world
Being lost is an achievement
Where any direction leads to surprise
Disorientation shifts my perceptions
Leading to the possibility of the liminal,
the imaginal, inviting in dream states
The Westernised mind emphasise thinking and sensing
Feeling and imagination are dangerous
to the establishment, they don't like it!
If we fall in love with the earth community
We can discover our souls, our unique and precious gifts.
Our greatest strength is our greatest weakness
we are the only life form we know
who is not capable of naturally occupying
it's own niche in the world.
Through our souls we connect with the rest of life
Through our souls we become relational and dynamic beings
Our bodies are always in conversation whether
We are conscious or not
Everyones place in the world matters
I matter
You matter
We all matter
Mary says, 'Let the soft animal of our bodies
love what it loves'
Let your body feel before you mind thinks
Feel yourself touched as well as touching
Seen as well as seeing
Heard as well as hearing
Let your animal self out to play, to be, to relate
Be a visionary artisan of cultural change
Antonio says, 'What have you done to the garden entrusted to you?'
When big emotions get stirred up
Are they ours?
Are they our ancestors?
Are they transpersonal?
Are we tapping into a bigger well of grief?
Grief resonates from our longing to participate
When we honour the dead we enliven the world
Ceremony allows us to participate in the world
As if it mattered
