Early, closer and in-between: a wordsmith indulgence

Sep 2, 2019 | Beauty

Early? You’ve done enough already.
Go closer: lean in for genuine presence.
In-between: imbibe and be moved by an extraordinary wordsmith

3 short audio pieces for your Monday!

Early

Sunday afternoon. Monday morning. Maybe we’ve done enough already?

This is a set of 3 spoken poems. I love them all and the first, 6.59 am, reframes my day. Before 7 am, if I’ve turned to you and traced the outline of your lips, have I done enough already?!

Listen here: 6.59 am, Shane Koyzan >>>

Go Closer

When we lean in, whether the experience be heavy or light, there is more potential for curiosity, integration, transformation – for genuine presence.

Listen: Heavy, Mary Oliver, here >>>

Inversnaid

Listen with all of your senses for a  full-body experience. Gerard Manly Hopkins is an extraordinary wordsmith. Imbibe and be moved.

Listen: Inversnaid, Gerard Manly Hopkins’ wordscape>>>

    Valuable information. Lucky me I found your web site accidentally, and I am surprised this coincidence didn’t come about earlier! I bookmarked it.

Coming home

We belong to and are of the Earth but we bypass our sense of belonging. I missed this leaving home and my story mirrors our larger, human-wide journey. What do I need to come home?

Soulprint: Peak nature

Extraordinary: a paradigm shift by 147 governments and the UN endorsing “humans and nature are spiritually connected.” Invitation: to build on this for yourself and all of us.

I’ve a deep knowing: we humans have shifted. That’s disorienting so here’s 3 handrails to help: this is sourced in bliss; lubricated by peak oil; agreed by UN & 147 nations; and, all with dragonflies!
