I Often Think...

 

Vincent Van Gogh

I often think of a 'perfect day'. 

A day where I am present. 

A day where I accomplish tasks. 

A day where all is well and good. 

Funny, right? 

While that thought of a ‘perfect day’ 

still ruminates inside of me, 

I'm seeing more, 

and allowing for room for the unknown. 

For what is perfect? 

Is it even possible?

I think of Van Gogh 

and his paintings are NOT perfect. 

In fact, they are beautifully imperfect. 

And perhaps that is what makes them so powerful. 

I can see and feel him working out, 

working through some struggle in his painting. 

He's in the moment 

and grappling with all the imperfections.

If I Can...

 

Caleb Friesen

"If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain;

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain".

~Emily Dickinson

Returning to Myself

I could not remember my soul language, 

the higher reaching me, hydrogens collected, 

spaces of communion. I only know the struggle 

brought me back to you. The effort, the wish 

to remember was all it needed to respond 

with its brilliance. The universal you that is not I, 

it is all that is contained, holding space 

for us to exist in.

Inviting you to listen to the song 

of the Reed Flute, may it inspire your inner work.
