BEING HOME by Danna Faulds
Where can I soften
in this posture?
Where is the edge
between opening
and force, the line
between stretch and
too much effort?
The mind and body
serve up a feast of
feelings, each breath
another chance to
deepen and release.
The smallest motion,
or even just a quiet
sigh could be all that
I require to shift my
focus from the outer
to the inner realm,
a change from feeling
lost to being home.
THE PRACTICE OF BEING PRESENT by Danna Faulds
Attend the breath.
Let the rhythm slow and settle.
Filling and emptying, draw the outside in, and then release.
Simplicity and ease.
Nothing to do but breathe, relax and feel the free movement of air and life force,
watch the play of energy and sensation, allow everything to be,
without the need to change or fix or make it different.
This moment, you can listen to your soul.
This breath, you can have no goal but being.
You are already complete.
This, just this, is what it means to be whole.
