Living Large

We dance and swirl
on a day in loving embrace
with those who know us well
and celebrate
all of life
the bitter, the cold,
the harsh, the struggle
along with the understanding
that comes from experience and
the flow, the grace,
and the laughter

It is all there
every painful lesson
every bestial challenge
with every moment of magic
all the laughter and joy
of living large
living in livid color
with the whole self

It shouldn't be so unusual
to dance and swirl
in days of loving embrace
but it seems it takes so long
to learn to love
ourselves enough
to let it be

Let your voice rise up in tune
with the children's laughter
let your heart out
release the clouds
of attachment to what is
and breathe What Is instead
for it is only the moment that counts
and not what we think about it


Blessings.
