As part of our education program, students are encouraged to develop a personal project at the end of class. Our recent Foundations Class was asked if we could share some of their projects and some have agreed to share their creative work with our community!
This week we have Julia Drake with some poetry and imagery!
I am Listening
Very simple
Take a breath
This is it
Just this
The light
Gently touches
The surface
of the table
There is Stillness
Behind every little sound:
The ticking of the clock,
The chirping of a bird,
The hum of a machine.
This is Life.
As you listen
The Universe is listening too.
Listening…
What is It listening to?
Dear One,
It is listening
To you.
I am Connected
I am seen
I am held
In loving arms
Connected
Always touching
Like a flower
In the soil
The sun
The rain
The air
I am Home
I am free
Life is heresupporting me.
I am Community
The light I shine
No one else can shine:
My Color-streaked flame
Uniquely mine.
I step into the world
As a beacon calling
wonderful people
Encircling me,
Like a campfire
My presence
Warm
Inviting
Songs,
And stories,
connection,
community.
