When I’m drowning In the deep dark waters of emotions Windmills spinning fiercely In my tangled mind Looping thoughts Fueling desires Scalding impulses When I’m trapped in these claustrophobic spirals... Just for a moment I let my cold feet sink into the bare earth Retreat under the tone of the drone The static of why, and how, and what, and if’s... The urgency to find cool relief From interpretations, narratives The rut of cause and effect Of past and future Shackled to a conditioned self... Just for a while I close my eyes From the realm of understanding I dive into the ocean of senses With the fierce pounding of my heart in my ears Undo the stifling corset of my skin The tautness of my belly yields Breathes colours into the monochrome of my bones Space. Life. Light. Fluids. This embodied presence A gift of attunement A primordial calling through Our cellular breath A biological blueprint of revelry of wonderment A timeless infinite Photo by Rod Willner #embodiment #musing #somatics #meditation #bodymindcentering |
