It's that time of year where life slows down, I think, for most of us anyway. The period of time between Christmas and New Year, a time of reflection - if we'll allow ourselves to - and of introspection.
A few years ago I did a 5 day water fast. I can't quite remember why, I think it was just as part of a clean-up plan, but I remember it being one of the most powerful spiritual experiences of my life. I just sat in bed and thought, felt, was. Such peace.
Being a poet at heart (yes, hidden depths! ha-ha) I wanted to capture the essence of what I was feeling so I wrote a couple of poems to sum up exactly that. My hope is the the energy of these poems may inspire you to take a day or more out of your schedule to find the peace that I did, which may or may not involve fasting from food...
I hope you enjoy them.
INNER FLYING
In this clear wide open space
my spirit breathes deeply
spreads its wings
and begins to glide
serenely
softly
lightly
touching my senses
reminding me
of the simplicity
of beauty
and the richness of peace.
Together we soar beyond the boundaries of this Earthly land
and...
once more,
as light
we understand.
THE RE-UNION
This special time
for just you and I
Dear Spirit
We meet and smile
like lovers lost
who knew one day we would return
to this place
this void, this space
which is not empty...
but rather, filled
of things
no earthly eyes can see
or even dream
but they are real;
such ecstasy.
