Silence Pervades

9/19/2016

Silence pervades...
I see no one for miles...
My smile curves upwards like the sun climbing up from the horizon...
There is a palpable clarity in the sea water...
Reflecting my mind...
And I am lost in the vastness...
Overwhelmed, really...When have I ever been this alone?
Small waves ripple against my skin...
Reminding me that I am NEVER alone...
Conscious permeates...in EVERYTHING...
My smile widens and my lips part to say, "THANK YOU, UNIVERSE!"
For bringing me to this moment...to this still point in time...
My private island paradise beckons me to indulge in the 1000's of miniscule seashells
That collective form the sand on "Pebble Beach".
I sift my fingers and toes lovingly into the coarseness as the Aegean Sea continues to lap at my feet.
The sun climbs higher, increasing the temperature.
As it meets with my skin it warms me passionately.
I walk into the sea...
Over smooth stones which are coated with velveteen algae...
Like carpet softening each step I take as I immerse deeper into the abyss...
I submerge my nakedness fully into the depths...
Enveloped and caressed by the Great Grand Mother to us all...
She holds me like a newborn babe with in her...
I almost cry with the joy I feel welling up within me...
Maha Bhutas, the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether...
Combine to create this mythical dream...
I float into eternity and time stands still...
And yet the winds continue their dance with the trees...
The olive leaves flutter with delight in the knowing of their absolute partnership...
And the sun continues to track across the sky, burning, burning, burning, its path in the ethers...
I recline my wet body against the seashells that cradle my mid morning slumber...
There is a natural meditation that spontaneously arises in this masquerade ball...
I feel my mask melt...unveiling the TRUTH...
I am guided by my angels, guardians, pixies, sprites, faeries and spiritual ancestors...
Into an awakening of bliss...
Our True Nature revealed...
As a bird screeches...
Calling me to remember...
I am NEVER alone...
But ALL ONE...

(I wrote this almost a year ago to the day. September 21, 2015, on the Fall Equinox, while teaching
Yoga + Ayurveda retreats at Silver Island Yoga in Greece.)
