GONG!
Here comes the day,
The time,
And the opportunities.
As I walk around the house,
I feel my feet hit the floor,
And I appreciate the force that keeps me here on the earth.
I can count on gravity.
This force,
Though not always its consequences,
Works in silence.
Let the pull of the earth ease you into stillness.
Allow gravity to hold you to your home,
Binding you to the still place you occupy.
It is your physical body that the earth pulls close and claims.
The same force that controls that spinning of the planets helps keep your feet on the ground,
Helps keep you grounded.
It feels sometimes as if emotions are held too close,
Buried.
But they have no real mass,
And can float to the surface like a bubble of air coming up from a great dark depth.
Breathe fresh air into your feelings so they can float.
Also in the depths of your being lives your soul.
The black depths seethe and roil in their own agony of birth,
And black goo clings to what emerges into the light,
Providing a humble reminder of our humanity.
May you come into this day with appreciation for all the forces that keep you on the earth,
And on your own particular path.
Your gift today is gravity.
