coming out of rest & renewal

gettin’ my yoga and meditation on never felt so good
in front of a morning fire
burning off all the detritus of all the yesterdays
centering within myself
here, now, me, myself, and I
with all my imperfections and worries and fears,
all my insecurities
all my hopes and dreams
floating around together
settling down
releasing into the ground

arriving at stillness and silence
moving through stillness and birdsong and crackle of fire
feeling like I just crawled out of the cave
after a long winter’s sleep


we need this time
to ease into the day
this is how artists live, in flow
- not as servants to the clock

we need the time to be, to do nothing (seemingly),
to ponder, to daydream, to plan, to reflect
sometimes we build the whole empire in our mind
before one pen is laid to paper, or one brick is laid
sometimes we work for days with a furvor
barely eating, barely sleeping, fueled only by inspiration
we are creators
that is our natural impulse, our need, our drive, our catharsis, our necessity
when we are able to live in harmony with this compulsion
we are happy, we are healthy, we are free
