I feel the magic ripple through

                my veins,

                course through my being

                my breath connects me

                                to the Qi

                                to the ‘real’ me

                                that rests within.

No different from the Expansive Universe without.

I too, have Light and Dark

                Hopes and fears

                Love and sorrow

                ‘Less than’ and more

The Shaman-ess in her

                purest state

                Accepts.

Goes beyond and within with Love

                to the “I AM”

                to the deepest heart of the matter

                “I AM”

We are who we choose to be

                In our domestication

Through each choice we pine,

                And divine our life in a direction.

But how do we undo the

                Lifetimes of Karma in the mud?

There is greater purpose here for me-

I wait, mid-air, mid-space, with breath, almost held,

                waiting for my heart to guide me in…

that navigation tool of Love’s clarity- to what?

What is my purpose beyond what I know?

What is in the great unknown that I Long for?

Where does ONENESS begin and the Egoic “I” end?

In meditation, in Silence

Here…I Breathe, Let Go, Trust, Receive,

Here…I Believe.

I feel the Full Moon Magic

                and the great expansive Universe of endless possibility is

                my friend,

                my Lover,

                my Heart,

                my Soul – is ME.

I Dip again into Silence…and I am Free.
