Awakening
hidden feelings stir
dormant passions come alive
my heart beats strongly

the gate has opened
passions bubble and erupt

Beautiful choice of words and image, Brad. It is amazing when those dormant realities come up to the surface for air. How long can they hold their breath down there!? They’re so majestic when they rise, a pod of living potentials… We are a strange sea. We forget sometimes, but we have whales inside of us!?!

Its a beautiful image.. and I often think we are inspired and touched by various things which can irrupt and awaken our souls, as we see and perceive at different levels …. I was filled up to the brim of my heart the other day, simply by watching some sparrows feed their fledglings on the corn and meal-worms I had put out on the feeder.. It was a joy to watch for 15 mins from my kitchen window as the mother sparrow fed not one but 3 of her offspring patiently picking up the corn, and dried meal worms she broke it up and placed within their beaks..
The smile upon my face was from ear to ear… As I was so privileged to witness her love and her little family..
We are all of us awakening to many things Brad.. each one adds to the whole experience.. 🙂

I agree Sue, I’m grateful and intrigued at the variety of things that touch my heart and open my perceptions to a larger, more loving view. Watching nature often does that for me, as well as some music, art, and watching kids play! How wonderful that you could open to such beauty and joy watching the sparrow family. I just enjoyed a smile with you. 🙂 Thanks.
I love your perspective that we are each awakening and adding to the whole. Thanks for your loving presence and comments. to awakenings! 🙂
