The Alchemy of Listening
the tender beauty
of sinking into my dharma
as an elder…
more soft
less sharp
more slow
less frenetic
more inner
less outer
more listening
less noise
more allowing
less striving
more mutable
less fixed
more organic
less calculation
more compassion
less comparison
more knowing
less doubting…
quietly listening
in the depths;
each breath leads
the wild horse of my heart
into wider
fields of beauty…
I bow.
