DHARMA DUMBSAINT
present in reverent witness to the opportunities of life
where I have said no, I have no regrets
my visceral intuition another language I learned in the dark
so where there were paths, I explored them
so where doorways appeared, I ventured through
the YES of my sacred surrender pulling my forward
(when the Irish bless your back with wind, this is what they mean)
not a knowing but an unknowing from the very root
where bliss becomes the space between who knows and show me
where faith is the space between your pain and what you do with it
so do you too hear that song which opens every rusted lock?
when you feel your own chains falling away will that be enough?
This piece feels like a mantra of its own. Each line a “prayer” to opening and honouring the moments we say “yes” when we say “no” because, really there is no difference between them.
So many pieces of this work resonates with me that I cannot separate them from the whole piece. Thank you so much for bringing them to the world so others could be moved. Chi miigwech (thank you very much in Aanishnaabemowin).
