As I Awake...

 


Rene Magritte



 As I awake to my precious day 
how do I connect? 
Bring meaning?
Often it begins 
with a separating from lower functions, 
just observing without judgement. 
I feed the cat, get coffee, 
stretch and feel my physical body. 
Today I sat for a moment in the garden, 
and I see the sun rising in the East. 
I remember the feeling of going to bed last night 
and looking at the stars and the moon, 
the coolness of the air now replaced by gradual heat. 
Then, if those efforts go on, 
my emotional center develops a picture 
and a greater connection, 
I can go above myself 
and see that I am part of a whole. 
My soul is in a field each day digging, 
planting, pulling up weeds, 
connecting and realizing I am not alone in this field - 
my body my life is totally dependent 
on all that is connected, all impressions, 
all forces acting on me, 
on every center in my being.

I see the faces of students 
bobbing up amongst flowers and grasses, 
and emotionally this helps me to know 
that there is a cultivation happening, 
an aim to work together and be like "Accumulators" 
or special forces for one another. 
This picture helps my emotional center 
to open further to presence 
and a quieter state of acceptance of "What just is" 
in this day in my life. 
When I have an "Aim" 
to be more emotional and connect, 
I notice the small "I's" disappear.
