"We arrive like water and like the wind we go." o.khayyam

Where?

Where do we go?

Does the spirit disperse, rejoin
and recycle into the universe?

Like wind 
against a cottonwood tree? 

     






d i s p e r s e
like water in a glass
set inside the sea
water inside
and outside  
becoming 
one.

Rise me 

from depths

to crest at sea

i n h a l e

a n d
e x h a l e

to swim

the distance 

Hollow me

like a flute

carved for life breath

let music

play through me

w i t h o u t

resistance

One day

we too

will go

disperse like wind
against a cottonwood tree

water and seed

rejoining sea.

T. Acuna 1/12

inspired by the book of awakening 

B l o o m

Change simmers 
we reveal ourselves slowly
to ourselves
It's not
quaint nor quick
tidy or trite
it's a necessary fight
and sometimes
it hurts.

Where we will go
is where we have been

B l o o m
realized only
through the seeds of our past

through fear
to life
from a calling light
u n c o v e r e d
layer by layer
u n p e e l e d


R e v e a l e d                                                         

Changed
by each and every                                             
person
place
and loss.

Wherever
we dared to go
and allowed ourselves
to  
f e e l.
