(How My Body Taught Me to Stay Long Enough to Know)

Certainty was currency

a gateway to higher Knowing

and Clarity was expected

fast, confident, neatly justified


and yet the truth is

I could rarely find Her

not in a way that felt true


I didn’t know, then

that I was trying to name Clarity

from a body that had never been allowed

to stay with Uncertainty


lifelong curiosities

Follow

Followed

Following

an opening of experience


a slow, whole-body widening

that let Complexity live

without demanding resolution


not toward an answer

but toward space


Time


a quiet depth


a tending to evergreen

a spreading intelligence that

let Doubt live


without collapse

in shape and form and wisdom


I remember the fog

surrounding, cycling

surging and quiet

lurking shadows at the edge


widening cracks

light weaving

dancing through dimness


Time folding

folding

soft edges

folding again

an endlessness

ambiguous

amorphous

soft

alive


maybe you know this place


where Knowing and Unknowing

exist together


side by side

sometimes in Rhythm

sometimes out of step


no ground beneath

insides matching outsides


Presence uninterrupted

ageless

limitless


met far beyond the

edgeless field, simply to be

unknowing and free


no tidy answers

no clear paths

just a Rhythm


moving

pulsing

unexpected

playful

daring


alive


watching the blueprints

of old patterning

surface

as echo

as trace


Life, Herself

unfolding

Leading


Time stretched wide

we shared lungs


a preserving

of Time together


remembering Time together

honouring Time together

how Togetherness inhabited Life

and we inhabited Togetherness


these days

Clarity moves differently


not all at once

She senses


in the Rhythm of staying

in the body’s quiet trust

that something will take form

when it’s ready


sometimes


Clarity is the shift

in how the body rests

against what once felt unbearable

 
 
the Yearning

the Yearning just wants to express, to be seen in form; en-saturation

 
 
an ode to Goose

etched into the dirt we held It and It held us Firmly; Lovingly Institutional. Adult. And Ego. Knowing. molasses mirror reveals monkeying madness! tomfoolery time! impulses gaffaw breathe fire into be

 
 
Being The Path

wide colours let curves ease from ease curves colours wide          wide ease colours curves      wide ...
