Readings to inspire

11/7/2016

I was introduced to poet Danna Faulds by a near and dear yoga teacher friend of mine. The first time I heard one of poems, my soul sparked and my heart recognized the depth, sweetness and truth of her words. This weekend on retreat I shared two of my favorite poems of hers from her books Go In and In. May they inspire as much as they have inspired me.
Walk Slowly
It only takes a reminder to breath, 
a moment to be still, and just like that,
something in me settles, softens, makes 
space for imperfection. The harsh voice
of judgment drops to a whisper and I
remember again that life isn't a relay
race; that we will all cross the finish
line. that waking up to life is what we
were born for. As many times as I
forget, catch myself charging forward
without even knowing where I'm going,
that many times I can make the choice
to stop, to breathe, and be, and walk
slowly into the mystery.

Enough
It's enough to offer love,
no matter  how imperfectly
received or given. It's
enough to try and fail at
a difficult task; enough
to fall and rise, stumble,
fall again, sigh, and start
to walk, however slowly,
in the direction the soul
points. It's enough to
seek peace and find pain,
to gain nothing but a
vision of truth, and take
the long route home.

It's enough to feel
temptation, the dance
of the senses, the hot 
pull of desire; enough
to call on God, walk 
through fire, sleep and
cry and fear or welcome
dying. It's enough to be 
and breathe, to feel the
touch of wind on skin.

It's enough to take the
day as it comes, to watch
the ripples on the lake
as the rock sinks to the
bottom, to see the wild
reflection of the surface
calm into a mirror once
again. It's enough to
hear the voice of fear
and hide -- or seek it out
and face the shame or
shadows. It's enough
to set out to tame demons
and watch them multiply
instead. It's enough to
be buffeted by the winds
of change and not blown
over. I and you and all
of us, more than enough.
