"Sam I am" and I wish to fly. / / "Unconditional love is the other key....when Ajlla had left I went to the garden and placed my hands on the ground. Even though it was in the middle of the city, I could feel the heartbeat of the earth. I felt her love, her life. I felt as if roots came out of my hands, I felt the tender embrace of Pachamama, Mother Earth, who continues to wait for the reverent return of her children." / / ~ from "Chamalú: The Shamanic Way of the Heart" / / "We keep searching and searching, when everything is already inside us..." / ~ Don Miguel Ruiz, co-author (with son) of "The Fifth Agreement" and author of ...

An oblong stone, fallen from a cloud,
strikes the sides of a river bridge.
Where there's a mousehole, the opposite wall
releases and one-word flies through the open window.
If I step one half-inch leftward, dreams are another place.
Two lifetimes cross at an instant, two times and storylines.
Naturally, natural, not sitting still,
not awake sleeping on a couch,
there's coming and going.
It really is no miracle at all.
Whenever I try, I am nothing.

All that early evening, you were ringing in my head.
One day it was, since you had gone.
Love jumped and flowed for me, it seemed
without you, and then, there you were--in messages.
Full harvest moon, she winked at me. I smiled to her.
An owl came sudden against the shadowed mountain,
flustering the sky with her thrush of wings.
O, where O where have our hearts gone?
When they were, how love had settled in.
You were nearer to me than the tip of my tongue.
Rose scent of you I tasted.
Palm open to palm.
And then -- elsewhere, everywhere in another night brightening sky
we two were up and flying!

I have learned to unlearn my native language.
Have felt my mouth fall open,
glazed eyes. Breath light.
I have slept inside some other body.
Bring on this confusion!
No stopping!
On the opaque wall of my heart,
on the forward leaning step, twice
against twice, music untold spoke.
Will I ever know this joy completely?
This is the way I have chased it,
as a dog chases a singing rabbit.

safe.

bedside lemurian crystal water magic?
in my tub 3 am
full July buck moon
through the window shining
by candlelight, my left hand submerged,
appeared -- two knuckles
popping up
made glints of wet light
two little eyes

a thing wholly wild
natural and yet to be
beckoned me to the edge
there was whispering among ponderosa pines
that windless morning
roots of rocks seemed sighing
water danced in a shadow
sparrows weaved the air
o cliff-hanger of my heart, woman,
you are near to me and so far away
i feel your delicate sweetness
a settling peace
every star to me
is rainbow
and heaven
how it sings

When I pulled my hand from the spaces of the in-between,
lights danced in the pattern of another hand.
But she was not confused by this, as it had happened to her
and also to her of the other hand.
That's when the universe really began to laugh outloud,
and right then we two she and I
in the kitchen
wow
