Remain open for the unknown future to fill up your life with Creation's gifts of yet-to-come surprises. When we are fully present, we may find and enter the great space of awareness. However, it takes practice to come to know this space and to enter it willfully. Within this space we can find a different relationship to loss, pain, and trauma, allowing such emotions to dissipate and release themselves in that expanded space of awareness. – Grace Schireson
Poet to Poet to Poet
– after David Whyte
Don't name things too early. / Allow for the surprise that comes / with the step from this moment /
to the next arrival / you didn't see coming bringing / a wholly new you / into a world never before seen. /
There are no words here. / A silence deep as the sun is far / below the horizon, before first light /
without a hint of dawn's promise / until broken by the dove's love call.
