As part of my experiment in creating an artful life and discovering how to thrive in the Bay Area. I share with you some spirited words that whirled through me about abundance.
*Abun*dance*
Abundance comes down from the sky
it bubbles up dirt like
from the ground
it pours out of me like liquid gold
finding its way into like-hearted souls
then it hits a switch
in them
and like a pin ball machine
the bounce rate between me and them and you and all of us here
joggles and tunes itself up to the big picture
that big pitcher of water that is the Universe
a container remaining malleable
and open to shape shifts
as ideas, inspirations, motivations explications and exclamations swirl in new combinations
all within the confines of our bodies
of our planet
of our orbiting Sun and our beloved Moon
we are dancing forth abundance here
a celebratory ribbons flowing kind of thing
can’t really be pinned down
don’t even try
the gold bars rain down
and adorn altars and wallets alike
green gold
goddess blessed
earth gifted
we are all worth it
we are all It
pansy and redwood
dolphin and deer
man and woman
mountain and ocean floor
It’s taken a while to get over the sting
of things not working out
of loves lost
of dreams dropped
and fears ingested
but the spirit spark comes through
with its greatest power
in those tight spaces
those graces that happen
when there’s nothing left to do but fall off
let go
and give the situation over
to that One in here
to that You in you
who loves and knows
and holds the keys to your gifts
so sniff her out
close your eyes and use those faculties that have been stage left all this time
you feel your cue
it pulls at you
pushing you onto the stage with a full house
and lights up
standing there you gasp! * !
……………………………..
then begin to dance
moving your feet
finding your beat
grooving to the rhythm of Gaia’s molten heat
the fire of existence moves you
it can’t be helped
can’t be stopped
you are becoming you now
discovering that you know how to dance like this
you do know how to dance
like this.
