Invitations

poetic intuition

contemplative muse

Contemplative poetry invites you to pause and listen with open curiosity. It is poetry that returns you to a place of calm within the apparent chaos of our spinning existence. It is poetry of the present moment in relation to all beings and all things. Contemplative muse is an invitation to enter an open, creative and reflective process.

musings

Where do you end and the surrounding environment begin? Can you exist as something separate from anything and everything else in the cosmos? 

Is your skin the outer edge of you? How does your biggest organ interact with everything that is around you? How do the pores of you skin respond to changing conditions? 

Take a walk or rest under a starry night, pause, look up. Feel  yourself spinning through the immense, vast, infinity of the cosmos. Pause and wonder. Pause and wander. 

Change a routine just a little. Surprise yourself. Do something unexpected, unlike “you.”

Take a walk, or dance, using your hands as your listening ears. Imagine ears on each of your fingertips, your knees and your toes. Listen with your whole body. 

Can you see and explore the so called opposites as a relational spectrum of continuity? Like a rainbow moving from red to indigo. Like the Yin/Yang symbol where one side contains the the other and all exist within one circle.
