Going Inward

Pause and notice
is your heart armoring against some anticipated attack?
is your pelvic floor bracing in expectation of discomfort?
are your legs primed to move at an instant closer to your goals?
is your jaw clenched under the weight of held authenticity?
 
My pendulum swings only as far towards activity as rest
My cells expand only into the spaciousness of the contraction
 
Pause and feel
the rhythmic movement of the heart
the suppleness of the pelvis blossoming into arousal
                                                                                    the fluidity of spontaneous receptivity to life
                                                                                    the relief of open expression
