My words are who I am – v2

My words are who I am,
Raw and authentic,
A window into my soul,
My thoughts, my living spirit…
 
My words are who I am,
The essence of my being,
My struggles, my joys,
All that is within me…
 
My words are who I am,
Words flow like living water,
My words, God’s words, well up,
They rise from my eternal spirit…

Drinking the water – v5

drinking the water

becoming one with it

sharing its essence

and its life force

drinking the water

sharing with it

your life, your story

and the journey it is on

becoming a portion

a stop on its sojourn

the water abiding

while it walks with us

a quote by Taisen Deshimaru

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taisen_Deshimaru

“If you have a glass full of liquid you can discourse forever on its qualities, discuss whether it is cold, warm, whether it is really and truly composed of H-2-O, or even mineral water, or saki. Meditation is Drinking it!””

Drinking the water – v4

drinking the water

diving in, open

becoming one with it

sharing its essence

its life force, power

drinking the water

sharing with it, becoming

melted, molded, woven

your life, your story

the journey it is taking

becoming a portion, a droplet

a part of the vast ocean

a stop on its sojourn

the water abiding

while it walks with us
