creating space.3.4.2010
like a mug waiting for coffee or hot tea, today's creative act took the form of a vessel. as i gathered with different folks throughout the day, i made space in my mind & heart for stories, shared laughter, and tears. i made space as i left the dust of the world at the door, entering in with the desires of breathing deeply and maintaing mindfulness in the present moment. as the evening drew near, i found myself feeling a little tired, well, quite a bit tired. i centered, questioned, and returned to energy & focus as our bereavement group gathered. the space was set, the food prepared, art created, and we breathed deeply & shared stories. my silence was a silence of words but not of mind or heart. my heart stopped, then continued to beat. my mind ached, then sent words of blessing and healing through my breathing. these thursday nights are sacred. we are in sacred space where there aren't words fitting, but there is room to create space.
