Humming

The first people
Are the youngest

I am so distant
From being able 
To squat
And observe

Yet, how can we 
go forward?
Through
Indigeneity 
And migration,
Brokenness
And pain

The answer is
We must
Without doubt

Opportunity
Exists in the
Falling apart

No matter what 
Our beliefs
Founded
And confounded
Overwhelm us 
Until we take
A breath

A hum
Vibrates
Our wholeness
Awake
Without retreat

Nothing
In nature
Is symmetrical
Not even 
Its laugh
At our elastic 
Imperfections

I am not
Alone
In wanting
In believing
I can 
Go forward

_____________

Where in your
Body
Is your question
Arising? 

It arises
In the back of my heart

It asks, “why 
Am I anxious?”

What do you fear,
heart?

“Am I loved?” 
Asked my heart

Do you love, heart?
“Yes,” said my heart.
Then, you are love.

Circumstances
Can make us
Pause

How do we create
Our own
Circumstances?
