how do we

how do we nurture ourselves
deep into the secret sacred place
of knowing
without doubt
that we truely love ourselves.
how do we slow down
so we may listen,
so we may hear
the open sound
that springs from within
organic, natural and whole;
the sound that is
the movement arising
from the soul...
how do we learn to accept
the complicated simplicity
of our beauty,
the seemingly endless turning
that dizzys us
as we begin
awakening.
how do we christ our wounds
unwind the past
into holy water
that will save us
from the desert
of our longing.
how do we hold
our gentleness
our imperfections
our divine connection: and
how do we not tear ourselves apart
as we reach through our darkness
to touch
our creativity
into being.
