To Heal the World - Mat Meditation 2

Athens, Georgia
May 30, 2011

The world is too much with you now I see
the tension tracing pathways down your spine
and monkey chatter chasing through your mind,
but let them be, come stretch with me, now breathe.

And in the mindfulness of breath to break
through form if form constrains, to break
down form if form requires;
to let form conform
in nature’s way
to cleansing
breath just
breathe.

Through cadence of your breath begin to feel
the hush of peace that permeates a place
in the calm embrace of natural grace
your life’s a vast cathedral space made real.

Breathe
deep breath,
drawing breath
from the stillness
let yourself become
the lightest touch of grace
a piercing shaft of light through space
that brightens shadows cast across all paths.

While pressing worlds of pain will always be,
those spacious depths of breath will frame a life
for quiet mind to cleanse our world of strife.
For dreams to be, first stretch with me, now breathe.
