Awakening
Buff off routine. Polish away habit.
Sharpen your crystal mind with silent time.
Wake yourself by praying to the gods.
Surrender all of image. Let go of your outside eyes.
Be a foolish animal, gaping at the forest.
Be clumsy and too much and wide-eyed.
Kill the thing that pulls back reins,
and run.

I so need to ‘Kill the thing that pulls back reins,and run’. Great post.
Beautiful.
Yes – it’s that thing that pulls back on the reins. Gotta let that go and fly!!
Beautiful!!!
Love, it! Great way to wake up-running.
Thank you – just what I needed to hear this morning!
“Sharpen your crystal mind with silent time.
Wake yourself by praying to the gods.”
These words make me feel like the goddess of sweet action and clear thought that I am. Merci!
For me this verse represents simplicity, zen and peace… loved it.
“I envy you your peace of mind, your clean conscience, your unpolluted memory. Little girl, a memory without blot of contamination must be an exquisite treasure-an inexhaustible source of pure refreshment: is it not?” Charlotte Bronte
