There Is An Experience

There Is An Experience

***

practical, ‘realistic’, logical,

‘no nonsense’ common sense

or ‘airy fairy’ and ‘flighty’,

‘religious’ or not,

judged by others as

‘saint’ or ‘sinner’,

‘rule-maker’ or ‘rule-breaker’,

any age, race, gender,

‘pragmatist’ or ‘dreamer’

of what could be

a happier, healthier world…

creators and co-creators,

‘believers’ and ‘non-believers’

of different versions of God

and various visions of Heaven,

asking ‘who am I?’ or

‘why am I here?’- asking

questions or not…

there is an Experience

many have known, now know,

found in quiet stillness-

body in any position

comfortable, resting and

calmly focused within

or found in moving action-

in dancing and creativity,

‘in the zone’ of sports,

in ‘mindfulness walking’-

time stretched in awareness

and in time ‘standing still’,

a oneness with Life Itself…

this is the holy Experience

when body-mind-soul align

in the spirit of oneness…

a star formation in line,

a triangle in design,

a circle of oneness…

a remembrance, a force,

an energy clean and clear-

loving, joyful, peaceful,

serene, divine, sublime…

uplifting, re-energizing-

remembering and being

wondrous, a oneness

with Life while still or moving,

a feeling of Freedom at last,

a feeling of Harmony

and Well Being…

Loving Life Loving Us

and taking us above and

beyond limits of even words

like God is Love…

Experience
“What past experience have you had?” they asked…
then she laughed to herself—
(I’ve sat on the thrones of the pharaohs
and begged for alms in the streets,
fought hand to hand in fierce battles
and prayed in cloistered retreats.
I’ve drunk many a cup of sorrow
in Life’s feast of fear and love,
and savoured the sweetness of Spirit
here and in the vast heavens above..)
November, 1996
