This article seems like a good follow up to our Embodiment in Curriculum and Instruction course.
And how excellent it is to be in touch with our bodies and to listen to the wisdom they have to say!

WARM CIRCLES

Rich and full

And brimming over

Abandoned abundance

Rushing, tumbling

Generous excess

Spills out all around me

And into my body

Covering my mind

With a comforting wrap

Absorbing the nurture

The value and the respect

Hungrily eating

The stretched out invitation

To come to a table

Laden with riches

Treasure and jewels

Dripping in cream and wine

And deliciousness

 Dishes prepared from

Tear-stained hearts

Fully alive to the joy

And sorrow, the non-ness

And rawness

Welcoming me into the glow

Of warmth and hum

Away from my dark isolation

Brittle and parched

And saying "Come, come,

Stay awhile.  Stay as long as

You like.

This great expanse is

Yours to live in, to love in,

To die in, to move in,

Stay.  Stay here."

Golden Lane...Abbotsford BC Nov 5, 2013

A golden lane
To walk within
A blue sky

As my cover
The arching trees
Beckon me
To come and 
Be one

To swim in
Their grandeur
And flow with the wind
Spinning and twisting
And falling to rest

Such beauty in death
You've given your all
Your whole self
Lies golden and brown
Fallen to the ground
Brilliant with teardrops
Reflecting the light

You were beautiful 

In plenty, fluttering en masse

You are ravishing in death

Holding me captive

At your courage

And poise

And humility to become

One with the others

Taking your place

Under the wide open canopy
