Resting In Zero Space spans, breathes and rests out by a winsome river, gravity tows in music, the notes, presenting blessed in prancing pairs, a zero grows stepped slow staircase descending in sun and then again with cloud the light circles, bending down a subtle water winding, wending soloing stanzas, a humbled hero's crown curved along cautious crow's throne of bending weathered boughs light lived live, in opened embrace liquid, languid, and long... lonely tones highway droning it's two way moans in a solidly slippery space, between harken to avian abodes abound tall trees abide in silent green solace granted in grace of ground bubbles burble in flowing notes a rocky place resound wafting ozone in tiny motes an om, by turns, slowed and increased I stand at a floor in the valley grey a smile in flowing face released tickling my ankles and my toes rock, ant and blue jay standing sentry planet singing of poetry and prose, prana stinging my nose my troubles drained to empty here at the verge of weighted urge all seven doors of spirit gain entry |
Additional Notes:
So this beautiful day was spent in Granite Flat- a small camping park near Truckee here. I was in between teaching yoga classes- one in the morning and another late afternoon. I spent my time here absorbing the peace which flowed from being in between the road right next to this park and the river on the other side. It's gray rocks and huge trees otherwise with moraine and scree distributed throughout the valley. An amazing day. I have become slowly a mountain creature in there last 3 months since leaving the ashram, and I can see why yogis since time immemorial have come to them seeking solace.

Regis,
this is delicious in so many ways, rich in verbiage and then you also share a knowledge imparted to you through your meditation. Soon you'll be sailing the canyon walls, wadeing the waters and tasting the auras presented even when you aren't there, you've taken them on and made them your own--now they will remain with you along with the wisdom they've imparted to you. The structure of your poem lends well to the subject matter and your verbiage creates fresh images to dance in the enlightened mind. The sounds of silence, the heavens breath that you hear, the song of the universe will resonate always for you just as you've shared this poem of these wonders with us. I find no nits with your write and applaud your gift for shareing such unique gifts of extra site with us. I look forward to reading more of your meditative exploits...the peace they offer, the life lessons they give.
Best always,
Lora
