There is a quickening…

Despite myself I’m being reprogrammed at operating system level. Certainly I’m not practicing as much as I’d like, either yoga or meditation. But integration, yes. Before, it would take so much longer for me to realise I’d lost presence… Now presence is lobbed back to me, like a tennis ball. Oh there it is again. Spontaneous yoga within body and mind even if its not external. Om namah sivaya, om namah sivaya, om namah sivaya. A dog barks – you are Siva too, I explain. In between times I’m reactive, I’m angry, I’m anxious. I worry. But then… oh its you again. A pretty shrub covered in Spring blooms – I see the spaces in between. I fret. I stress. I react. But now I’m a homing pigeon set to return to Source. Inner voices are strengthened but still I question. New parts, there are new parts! Breathe. Mantra. Breathe. Mantra. Breathe. Mantra. Breathe. Mantra. Breathe mantra. Breathe mantra. Breathe mantra. Breathemantrabreathemantrabreathemantrabreathemantrabreathemantra…

There is an opening…
