While re-arranging my vision board today, I came across this poem. I'm sure I've shared it in this space before...being that it's so good, I wanted to share it again.
I hope these lines resonate in your heart.
:: The Singing Bowl ::
" Begin the song exactly where you are,
Remain within the world of which you're made,
Call nothing common in the earth or air.
Accept it and let it be for good.
Start with the very breath you breathe in now,
This moment's pulse, this rhythm in your blood.
And listen to it, ringing soft and low.
Stay with the music, words will come in time.
Slow down your breathing.
Keep it deep and slow.
Become an opening singing-bowl, whose chime
Is richness rising out of emptiness,
And timelessness resounding into time.
And when the heart is full of quietness
Begin the song exactly where you are."
{Malcom Guiteg}
