I am that form of a seer

in the midst of migraines I have

often experienced states of 

euphoria

in my worst pain I have

experienced profound joy

in such a paradox one day I

thought

"I know nothing,

I don't get it, 

I know absolutely nothing"

And then I heard a chorus of voices

sounding not unkind and rather joyous

saying

"now she sees"

We live in a world of pain and of joy

I am amazed by the transcendence of the human 

spirit and dismayed by the 

violence of our evolution.

We seem to live in a world of 

both heaven and hell.

Yin and Yang

motion and stillness

opposites that are a part of each 

other

I don't get it

I no longer expect to

but it is fun to try

I am that form of a seer

no going back

thunder rolls - lightning has already struck - we are put on alert

the recording has happened

memory occurs



now the sound, the sight, is present

it lingers until the next distraction

the next sight, sound, smell, of something new or old

brings us elsewhere and back



again
and
again



roll with the punches
go with the flow
work with the energy that comes

become this, that, the other ...


maintain

let go

gather



mindfulness
openness
stillness
motion

the same
yet different




I saw three deer this evening

it was a sign for me
