Ordinary Pot of Gold

2/9/2017

Could I become Love,
filled like a honey pot
over there on the counter to the left of the sink
simply doing
what it was made to do.


I've made artificial meaning out of things.

I've forced knowledge upon
the often mysterious but ever available sensations of my body.

I've silenced warm fleshy messages
with excess and deprivation.

I've kept the radio of my thoughts turned up loud
to drown out what I feel.

Not because I was bad
I simply thought being spiritual was something outside myself.

I thought God was something I reached for
something detached disconnected, distant, contrived.

Today I ask,
What if I let go of all that business
and let my senses become the highest thing about me?

Could I follow the scent of what lights me up?

Could the quickening in my belly could be my evening news, telling me what's most important
the sensations in my hands today's marquee greeting?

What if I let go of reading the stars
and started reading my breath?

Let the pull of air through nostrils land me into the present moment
which holds eternity in it?

What if the knowledge I gain from books is useless
unless I also study the throbbing in my chest?

What if my breath filled chest blood filled heart pleasure filled skin
are the most honest places I could ever look for truth?

Then maybe

I could tend to my pressing hesitations 
nurture my tender softness
question my interpretations
open myself up to pleasure.

Then maybe
I could embody this vessel 
and let it be filled with Love.

Filled and refilled again and again.
Hold love...taste Love...become love.

What if my purpose
could be my existence?
My body be my treasure chest
holding both ancient mysteries and everything yet to come.

Could I become like that honey pot?
The one sitting on my counter,
to the left of the sink.

That ordinary pot of gold
simply doing
what it was made to do: bearing sweetness.

I believe embodiment is a key practice for healing and connection in life. I teach my clients how to befriend their bodies and make meaning out of the messages that come from feelings and sensations therein. I help my clients learn that who they are is more than how they feel. Contact me today for a session!
