Celestial Energy
She lays back,
feels the warmth of the sun
on her aching body.
She notices a healing energy
making its way all around
and through,
particularly in her hips
and core.
She absorbs, connects,
feels her fluidity rearrange.
At the very same time she wonders
how it can be true,
this sense of openness
and freedom from suffering,
even as discomfort is present.
Slowly she realizes that this
is yet another twist of the lens.
Just because one has been wounded,
witnessed and felt suffering,
learned to take on the distress of others
does not mean that is how it must be.
Her profound
sense of unity with the sun
is true and real.
As the pain from injuries sustained
in her tumble on the bridge
once again gains footing,
she understands that,
though it is valid,
she doesn't have to allow
perceptions anchored in her past
to be in play.
In fact,
she can use this experience
to continue to dilute their strength
more and more and more.
She smiles with a knowing that
all vessels below have opportunities
to connect with,
reflect on
celestial energy from above.
It's right there all the time.
She feels so grateful
for another lesson learned
along her way.
