“To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.“And know there is more
That you can’t see, can’t hear;
Can’t know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren’t always sound but other
Circles of motion.“Like eagle that Sunday morning
Over Salt River. Circled in blue sky
In wind, swept our hearts clean
With sacred wings.
We see you, see ourselves and know
That we must take the utmost care
And kindness in all things.“Breathe in, knowing we are made of
All this, and breathe, knowing
We are truly blessed because we
Were born, and die soon within a
True circle of motion,
Like eagle rounding out the morning
Inside us.
We pray that it will be done
In beauty.
In beauty.”~Joy Harjo

So Very Beautiful! MM, you fill an electronic sea of energy with beauty from your soul and collective that just kicks the ass of time and space! Xo
It’s Sacred moment, aren’t they all?
infinite reminder of star dust, joy, love, tears… Being PResent.
That soul heart conscious, is it Rumi who said ? Kiss the ground with your feet?
And “May the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
Gratitudes always MM ! Xox
Love to all ~ in lak’ech

beautiful. reminded me of this old poem:
The sun is a big wheel
And cosmic particle’s a little wheel
And i’m a medium wheel
My vibration is on a motor vegetable level
And the sun on a million-yeared gaseous pulse level
And the cosmic particle last a second, owns a tiny wheel
And the solar wheel
And the swing of my wheel
Engulf and circumscribe it.
Essence of Hearing
Hears vibration
Of all the wheels and levels everywhere.
S-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h it sounds like.
