What a Rose Taught Me - a Poem
Now & Presence
This morning I did my morning Automatic Writing Practice and a poem spilled out of me:
Flowers hanging from the ceiling like autumn leaves
Where did they come from?
A single petal falls from the sky, and I wonder naught
I know that Love and Authenticity will find me here
And as the ripples echo out the universal starlight pond with each petal lands, I Remember
We are all One
One Love
One Joy
One Echo
Becoming, becoming together, becoming Love
Becoming more love, becoming more joy, becoming more light
Love and Authenticity is all around and all within
Become it, Be it, and See
What happens.
Recently, I did a hypnosis for my pal
. He described how he felt rooted in place, and the world just moved around him. It surprised me because I recall that same feeling and sensation last year in Deep Presence.I must have forgotten it. Have I forgotten to be grounded and present this year? With all my money worries? Perhaps I had to forget, to remember how to Be, Present.
One of the books I’ve been chipping away at lately, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, mentioned a flower’s existence in it’s nonexistent list of problems. And my mind envisioned a rose.
Roses are ever so present. The living epitome of Now. They don’t ever worry about needing the Sun for photosynthesis or water to quench their thirst or bees to keep them company. They are Being, Present, and Authentically themselves. Beautiful, Bright, and Unbothered. The world around them comes to them to meet their needs naturally. And in its Authentic Being, it serves a purpose for others.
Tolle describes being in presence, being in the Now, a space of peace and love and safety. When you step back from the anxieties or worries of the future, the fears of the past, and come into deep presence that the Breath invites you in the Now, what do you feel? You might be surprised that peace sets into your being.
As roses shed their petals, they are letting go of parts of them that they no longer need. And when someone sees you shed a part of yourself for new growth to come through, you are inviting others to do the same. Safety in the okayness of doing something New & Different. And a remembrance of our Oneness together. Season after season. Year after year. Change as the only constant. Death and re-Birth are synonymous. Here and Now.
Take 3 deep breaths. Inhale, Exhale twice as long as your inhale. 1, 2, 3 …
🌹 What lovely petals are falling away from you as we end the year?
🌹 What wants to blossom from your Present Being?
