How quickly the void
moves to be filled
with another’s
ideas and ways to be.
How rare to surrender to
the void….
to a space and time
of no direction
no identity defining
the fabric of a life.
To simply stay in the Openness…
To be willing to watch
the tides of possibilities
roll in and out again.
To be willing to stay
in this uncomfortable
and unfamiliar ambiance
Until Openness, itself
is recognized as the only
true ground of Being.

Musing today about the intricate, deeply personal dance of weaving experiences of expanded states of awareness with the relative moments of life.
This movement with form and formlessness, a central theme around which my life has developed. Perhaps you also have been involved in such an inquiry.
I experience an ongoing exploration and discovery of a seamless flow ~ the absolute and the relative melting into each other and no longer seen or experienced as separate since in the deepest reality they are not.
For me this fine gossamer weaving requires a commitment to attune to the numinous as a daily practice thru physical practice, breath or simply taking time when we feel that way of being calling us home, then to record in some way..art, writing, movement..a silent moment of registered recognition…that which is experienced, as a way to bring this forgotten way of being to consciousness, weaving these subtle threads into something that we can feel becoming part of our life..actually the potent sustenance of our life, not a special experience keeping us removed from others or feeling like we have something others do not.
These explorations rich when in solitude, yet profoundly enhanced when shared with others.
I find that as the fine weaving occurs..we reveal to ourselves our deep work and offering to others.
I invite you to join me in this embodied inquiry in the retreats I offer.
Sharing the Light of Love,
Patricia
