The Question


  The Question

 There are transitions,
  borders, and territories.

There are memories,
  inclinations, and intentions.

There are shifts,
  contexts, and foundations.

Each has a divine intention for you -
  to be with, learn from, and move on.

Can you feel all of it?
  the cosmic interplay
    delight and sorrow,
    beauty and desire,
    purpose and pulse,
    chaos and creation, 

A tapestry of threads,
  a tensegrity of wholeness,
  a life in discovery.

Beyond descriptions and definitions,
  in the language of wonder,
  there is an arising.  
Can you feel it?

What does your body love like
  the wild geese where there is a calling
  for connection to all things alive?

Can you live and the love the question?

With fearless abandon can you fly to the horizon?

A Flow in All of Life



There is a flow in all of life that invites opening.

It seeks a balancing and thriving.

It knows itself as energy and presence,
as dynamic form and formless creation.

You are that flow.
Breathe. Feel. Be. Know.

~~~

Practice Qigong and open to the Qi in you and around you.
