Reminding this hug which is beyond words…
This part of the poem is written in June 2017, grown from my experiences at a Carlos Chan’s summer workshop in Stockholm in May.
Recalling
The many ways
The many gradations
The many manifestations
Of loving kindness
Reminding
To be curious
In each attraction
In each person
In each situation
How the loving kindness
Will manifest in this connection
Time after time
To be drawn back to the deeper longing
of the eternal unconditional love
As the one, the only, the true
In that longing
Being a part
Tored apart
Dwelled into that world imaginary
Losing ground
Of the here and now
Time after time
To come back
To struggle
To get foot in this here and now
To dwell in the longing for that imaginary dimension of unconditional eternal love
Time after time
This longing turns into
Misery
Pain
Fear
Frustration
And much much more
What a wonderfull eye-opener
Rediscovering
Reminding
Recalling
Each of the connection
Reflects these many possible manfestations
of this loving kindness
In each of the attractions
In each of meetings
In each of us
Reminding to stay
Present
Centered
Grounded
Connected
Aware
Of whatever is as it is
The journey has taken place
With curiousity as source
With ecological check as compas
Rediscovering this world beyond bit by bit
Experiencing this imaginary world beyond
That is in the here and now
Reflecting in each of us and in all of us
for each and for all
from each and from all
To each and to all
It is all-one
In this journey
Of discovering and reminding
Of touching and being touched by
Of the courage to hold and to surrender
to this many reflections of loving kindness
Curious
Where
when
How
Who
To meet at this journey
And to reflect this imaginary world
back into this world of here and now
