this is what I ponder
considering what it is
what I co-author*
sometimes without even
realizing the very footing
I take as my own
I look and I look out
looking out, might I
bar that very pristine
ground of being,
which I emanate as,
simply unknowingly?
when I look
and in the looking
I dissolves
that I mistaken
once as anything
other than pristine
and existence reveals
itself again and again
oscillating almost
imperceptibly between
and in that between
there I am
not necessary to
catch it (!) no
as it is casually &
(seemingly) furtively
carrying on carrying on carrying on
birthing / rebirthing
gently, as if
I am gazing
upon a newborn fawn
breathing in the delicacy
and knowing it
as myself
the pristine I am
the pristine we are
emerges as visible
spectrum out of
hum and spin
oscillation of sight
* to choose either the co-authoring of misery & unworthiness or co-authoring of joy and worthiness ~ I have Mario Martinez and his seminal book, The MINDBODY Code (Sounds True, 2014) to thank for these profound insights and deep experiential touching into this “healing field”
Janice, I feel your continuing joy in both the searching and the arriving …through this path of words and wording… the wisdom of stopping the search and arriving where you are….This is what I feel from this piece.

Rachel! I love having your tracks here in the metaphorical snow of this poetic journey, “path of words and wording” as you so beautifully evoke it. Yes, to stopping the search and arriving where I am/you are! You are always welcome to travel this way! ❤

Your friend Rachel responds in such a sensitive way. I could not express my self that fully All something to contemplate!

What I see is that you are already starting to express yourself… and it could be in a pause (perhaps yet taken…) that the NEW or yet expressed words are right there waiting… Want to try it ~ step by step? You can experiment here. Each poem, as it is felt and written is also an experiment in the making. Thanks for your comment! ❤
