The Essence of Nature

Positioned in child’s pose

allow all to flow

open up,

energy moves

a message comes

Heal yourself

You are healing yourself

No need to do

Let it flow, move

move

Move

Allow it to move

Tracy Chapman’s “I’m ready to let the river rush over me,”

plays in my mind

Wash away

Cleanse

Two nights ago, felt similar

stuff arising

only to move

Not attached, connected

Couldn’t locate, recall or remember

This is the work of the body

Heal

its own energy

Its own power

Its own strength

intelligence to heal

I am surely departing lighter than I arrived

I think as I cough,

Yes,

The cough is supporting of this release

from what I refer to as the cave in my chest

heart, lungs

The chest cavity

Space

I knew there would be a clearing

To the depths and how it would arrive was unknown

What happens to the space within the crack

when we let light in, allow light in

for that which wants to be nourished

                                                 nurtured by

                        the essence of nature

natural essence

what it does, what is knows

the slit, the break

nature continues to thrive

doing what it knows to do

nourish

provide

sustain

destroy

I meet myself here

allowing the light in to the cracks

into the space

to nourish

to heal

To be surprised.
