rain blanket, drum rhythm
earth shakes, sky blessings
green things rising, humans crawling
small life, big universe
we hold it all within ourselves
happy day, everyday
tap in, spiral out
joy thru tears, blue within rain
today and everyday, big changes!
opportunity for transformation
clouds move fast, one month past
stillness within movement
peaceful blissful central stillness
just
a
heartbeat
rhythm
of
earth
just a heartbeat
tinder packed tightly
precious little thing
blown into flame
strong winds
i hold you to my chest
set me on fire
into the world
dance me with water
as we run fast on earth
legs leaping and twirling
grounding and stomping
these are ancient global rhythms we pound
chest to chest
fingers gently interlaced
each small movement a prayer
bodies shuddering, sweating, surrendered
breath that moves through me
thank you Creator
i dedicate my life
to You
this dance is Yours
i feel earth energy rising through my legs
drawing my movements
i can still choose
how to place them
and holding steady
when to rise and fall
with smooth
grace
or jagged
edges
to adorn trees and bless plants
cold taipei, winter setting in
half of me, "go hike anyways"
the other half, "don't get your hand wet"
considering already an infection
better play it safe
i watch the rain from my window
in delight
wrapped up in old woolen jacket
hot tea steaming
colors at my fingers
music thumping
heartbeat thrumming
breath soothing
my mama's last day here
been 6 weeks now with mama
and 4 with meimei, my lil sis
my world changed and shifted dramatically during that time
and tonight, i turn a new page again
1- before my family coming here, life chapter title:
fresh from india, studying chigong in taichong, struggling wild windy woman thing in the city
2- chapter with ma and mei:
wrist surgery heartbreak recovery, old traumas reopened, familial conflict and connection
3- and tonight begins (i assume- i don't know yet until it happens):
she flies once more, wrist strengthening, small travels resuming, mind-body-spirit focus evolving
