Remember the time
The hour even When it all turned around It was a soft Wednesday in October and the air was crisp. Blue skies hung above with wind blowing; shifting clouds that cast dancing shadows along the grassy terrain. The old familiar under-layer Relax. First relax deep, then the anger is there like a defence to keep out. A warning that there is a difficult trail ahead. Accept it. Embrace it. Use it. Meet it head on like a great wave roughly tumbling a ship at sea Must move past See what lies beneath Seems to be deep grief So much sadness So much pain So much suffering Buried beneath a red hot inferno of rage that lashes out at all it can Let go Let me go Take a seat There is a slight breeze on this autumn day and it brings the spirits out to help Listen carefully to this whispering Let go of the anger Letting go of the grief The present awaits... Remember this day When you learned to pay attention When you no longer needed to run away No focused gaze but a soft set of eyes accept all there is to see. From the corner moves something. Orange and brown leaves tumble down from the trees preparing for winter. We layer up whilst they strip down. A pair of small dogs come and yapp you back to reality but everything has changed. Remember this day. When first you found that portal to calm seas. When no longer did anger grief and grief hide fear. Nothing to fear. Nothing to lose No expectation No suppositions Only a flow which has every life connected and going along like those breezy clouds in the ever-changing sky.
