into the cleansing fire

the mesmerizing attunement

where the heart pulses into earth & sky

the real nature of things

nesting in big sky

standing still

to be touched by the whirl of our knowing

the fragile discipline of trust

fusing kindness & tears

and we remember from where we came

our strength found in fragile depths

the circuitous route of The Way

the lovely shattering of the mind

sacrificial freedom

sly perception & the play of light
