Emilie Conrad LIFE ON LAND
"Ah YES, I see it now. The hardening of our bodies deadens us to our home. We are no longer wet with love. Love, a mysterious substance moves, like undulating memories, caressing each organ, reminding us, of bottomless one, without boundary, that we are part of this. We are not separated, we are still one."
Emilie Conrad, LIFE ON LAND
Poems
"Close your eyes and follow your breath
to the still place
that leads to the invisible path
that leads you home".
St Teresa of Avila
I've been freed from the self that pretends to be someone,
And in becoming no-one,
I begin to live. It is worthwhile dying,
to find out what life is."
T.S. Eliot
ONLY BREATH
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu
Buddhist, Sufi, or zen. Not any religion
or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up
from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,
am not an entity in this world or in the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any
origin story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.
I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

ENOUGH
Enough, these words are enough
if not these words this breath,
if not this breath, this sitting here.
This opening to life
we have refused again and again
until now.
Until now.
David Whyte
