Wind moves the water
Like the breath moves the body
Many variations with layered currents
Moving in all directions

My Attention can get quite focal
only being aware of the bigger waves
Of an inhale and the crash of the exhale

Yet if I stay in relationship long enough
Riding the silence for a good while
I can sense and feel
The small undulate currents
Under each rib

The way my pelvis changes shape
Like sand changing with the coming tides

The way my head moves
to accommodate the top of the wave curl
Each vertebrae sliding and gliding independently
And yet connected to the large intelligent whole

Like the movements of the ocean
The wave comes up and out towards the shore
Yet the current underneath pulls back toward the uplifted wave
To somehow support the reach

Gravity helps us to reach
To touch
And make contact with the world
In our evolution

Our ancestral waters are on the inside
Each species calling us
Back to intelligent, fluid discovery

Opening time and space
To commune with our origins…
