Presence to Presence
by Elektra Porzel & Ann Byrne
In our part of earth, spring has arrived just as winter is moving into the southern hemisphere. Spring brings us all present to the awakening of life in plants and animals. We are energized and joyful. My eyes delight in the color of the daffodils and tulips in my front yard and in the blossoms forming on the trees. The warm breezes relieve the constrictions of winter cold on our bodies. It is time that we open to the flow of life within us. The more we are present to the flow, the more light and love enters our days. I hope that the awakening of this time fills your cells and your soul.
Ann Byrne of Ireland sent the following out on Easter and I wanted to share it into our shared field.
Abu – be ‘up’ in Irish— so ‘Up the
Resurrection’ (with just maybe a hint of the irish rebel in there with a
glint in her eye – lol )
presence to presence….
Stillness reigns as the rising Sun continues to move across
the heavens – shining on the quiet ocean like dancing diamonds. There is no
bleating now, all lambs be with their mothers -content – Birdsong rings and
even the cuckoo has come to the table, trees are growing so fast you can see
the changes unfolding as new life makes its claim. The apparently dead tree of
November is overflowing with blossoms…The eternal is always dancing in and out
of clay form through intimacy unlocking the layers to reveal itself
May eternity dance in your form the joy of celebrating the
alchemy of love that plays- you – formed you- woken you – and perhaps at
times shaken you all the way through – No matter what the tradition you
have allowed LOVE to shape you…. – blessings be. from Eire – and
this heart
Last she shared this poem from Rumi
The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don’t go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want
Don’t go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
Across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open,
Don’t go back to sleep!
