When It Flows

When it Flows
_______________________________________________

I was alive

When fishes flew and forests walked
Dew drops dripped down at the break of dawn
Slip sliding away on His probability curve
Chance encounter, chance union, chance life
Of infinite turns and arabesques
In a maze of competing alternatives
Learning to unweave His rainbow.

I am alive

But not alone, I am just not I
I am she and I am he, touched by a million souls
Breathing the mysteries of a million lives
Living in chaotic serendipity
Sharing a million dreams
Transforming, longing and belonging
Creating on the edge of uncertainty

I feel alive

Flying with fluttering butterflies
and a million feedback loops, dancing
On the fractal web of life
On the fractal edge of time
Amplified by humble humility, growing
Living in ‘this’ moment
This wild fractal moment
Evolving, stalking the wild pendulum
In this exhilarating, expansive, creative moment.

I feel alive

In action without desire
In this moment of creation and destruction
Shaped by the sands of time and what is yet to be
Diving into the swirling wall
Into the spinning vortex of unpredictable storms
Into the movement between I and not I
Striving for that moment of synchrony

I am alive

Too loud and I will not be heard
Too bright and I will not be seen
Too much and I will be obscured
In this moment I seek that balance
Leaving the familiar, to seek the familiar
Losing the ordinary, to find the ordinary

I'll be alive

Though a million lifetimes
I'll not struggle with the fear of tomorrow
To seize the river, I will become the river
To possess the sky, I will become the sky
And words will flow with melody and music
In the confluence of yesterday and tomorrow
Here and now, in each moment
As effortless as birth, as effortless as death.
