Can you find another market like this?
Where, with your one rose
you can buy hundreds of rose gardens?
Where, for one seed you get a whole wilderness?
For one weak breath, the divine wind?
You have been fearful of being absorbed
in the ground, or drawn up by the air.
Now your waterbead lets go
and drops into the ocean, where it came from.
This giving up is not a repenting.
It is a deep honoring of yourself.
When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry, at once, quickly for God's sake.
Don't postpone it. Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching will find this.
A perfect falcon, for no reason,
has landed on your shoulder, and become yours.
wow! this poem pushes and pushes with the softest hands - firmly. steven
ReplyDeleteAre we afraid of allowing ourselves to be happy? Why? Is it unworthiness, vulnerability, fear that contentment will make us weak?
ReplyDeleteIt's. It about contentment, or happiness.
