Staying Open

Staying Open:

an orientation to life

a spiritual proclamation

act of resistance

                                resilience

                                                acceptance

                                                                all at once

Staying

reflects our inner child that naturally opened

to the womb

and then the world

learning from each new smile

                                                smell

                                                sight

                                                sound

Staying

reminds that we don’t need to reach

but simply to root

 

Open

invites pores and portals

to receive life’s gushing torrents

                                gentle trickles

                                generously

                                graciously

                                gratefully

Open

                up

                down

                out

                in

Open

                to

                thru

                for

                with

                                Love

                                (life lived fully)
