Lying on the mat again
returning to nourishing self
Aware of every muscle, every surface touching the floor
and not .... the hollows
Now sitting poised
central channel strong ; column of silver
water flowing ; regenerating
Aware of periphery
body open, empty, soft
Softening around the breath
Filling up and up to hold
pressing the edges of being
So Full
Breathe out and empty
devoid and still
floating, thirsting for air
Deliciously awake now
poses familiar, flowing
Alive, so alive and strong
Gently energy moves out from heart
aware of others; community breathing as one
Pull back the arrow
straight over the heart
The aim is true; pure thought
Let go and claim your truth

About Me
- Radha
- I am a recently retired Kootenay gal (after almost 40 years in health care)How amazing to have the freedom to choose how I spend my time. I dedicate a lot of it to my home and property; tending fruit trees, vegetable, herb and flower gardens and mucking with a small pond where I am entertained by fish.I call it Tall Trees, an appropriate name, surrounded as it is by mostly large cedars and firs. I am often visited by elk and deer and the occasional bear and take total joy in all the birds and their songs. I share the place with my two cats. Other frequent visitors are my daughter and two grand children. Writing is another passion and now more time to read all manner of books. I am fortunate to have found spiritual community in both a Sufi and Dances of Universal Peace circle. I am one of several leaders of the dances in the Nelson area. I try to take time for outdoor recreation, biking the rail bed, swimming and canoeing the rivers and walking along them. Although winter is a more inward time, I get out on snowshoes and with a snow shovel and enjoy the beauty of each new snowfall. I have recently joined a writing group. Singing may be next.
