IMMERSE YOURSELF

- June 8th 2018 -

3:00 am
I can hear the howling of coyotes from the open window, mingling with the sound of the rain…

3:00 pm
Laying in the bath, head underwater, eyes closed, I can hear my heart beating and the hum of the ceiling fan… I am floating in an inner world of silence.

June 8th, a rainy afternoon
I am standing on the edge of a spring, listening to the sounds of the forest around me… the wind has died down, and the rain is hushed by the fingers of the trees, pattering a soft rhythm on the slate surface of the rocks, drip drip dripping from my hair into the water. I can feel myself dissolving.

My love, you are as natural as the earth between your toes.

Take down your walls.

Step out into the world beyond your skin,
beyond your screen,
and feel into it all.

Everything is singing to you, in every moment.

Listen. Listen.

💧

a listening meditation:

take a breath, right now

look away from the screen…

(I’ll wait)

and ask yourself:

“what can I hear?”
