Sent to our 30-Day Meditation Challenge, early in the morning of June 6. (But still Day 5 for me).
Technically, it is Day 6 as I write this; just after 1:00 a.m., and I am wrapping up a very long day. I am about to sit myself down for my daily practice, so I will keep this note short and sweet. Here is a poem for you:
Remember
That to have the eyes of an artist,
That can be enough,
The ear of a poet,
That can be enough.
The soul of a human
just pointed
in the direction of the divine,
that can be more than enough.
I tell you this to remind myself.
Every gesture is an act of creation.
Even empty spaces and silence
can be the wings and voices of angels.
---Michele Linfante (though I found it in A Big New Free Happy Unusual Life: Self-expression and Spiritual Practice for Those Who Have Time for Neither, by Nina Wise, a wonderful performance artist and teacher)
Talk to you tomorrow!
