Elements, indivisible, naked
A single wayward rain drop falls from above
Clouds a whisper away
Sun heat thawing my helplessness
Tender wind cascading in the space between my fingers
Stubborn bones draped on stubborn rocks
Awake again, surrendering to their dance
An afternoon respite in our rocky mountain backyard. Co-authored by Ryan and Anna.
Step 1: Be present~ Earth holding my feet as if expansive hands were arising from the core. Gravity magnetizing my ankles. The open blue sky above and brilliant sun speaking its truth through high hot rays to my skin. Hearing the expiring summer wind flapping the flags. My heart snaps the Earth and Sky into One.

Step 2:  Be Genuine~ Travel to my heart center. What does it feel like in there? Settle on this inquiry for a few passing minutes. The present moment is breathing. The Universe is speaking to me, whether I choose to open up to it or not. Fear wants to creepy crawl and shade my heart. I have the power to receive and dive into the tidal waves of human life.

Step 3: Radiate~ Open my eyes and extend outward, the warmth that I have cultivated by accepting and being with this present moment. Mix my organic radiance with the activity of the natural world. Energy is playing like a child at recess. I am apart of it all. I am enough. I am a manifestation of the four elements. I am art.
O Moon, where are you now?

I feel like you left while things were getting so good

Emotions were visiting then passing through

Tears were falling off my cheeks into the cosmic ocean of emptiness

Dreams were appearing as if my heart made them living entities

The night breeze whisked with your radiance danced with the hairs on my legs

My sisters and I absorbed the breath of the galaxy under an open ring in the sky

You hid underneath the holey blankets of silky night clouds

Befuddled by your absence, a confusion arises of how to live in my own light, without your light.

— The End —
