Do and rest

Rest and do

Each day goes by

This is how we make do

Living the ratio

And learning to do and rest

At the same time

Is really the only way to

Soften into the life

we are living through day and night

but really it’s a do-be-do.

Song.

🎵

A song and a dance

and this is the ratio of singing and dancing

at the same time,

catch your breath, stay in step

Walk away from the show

but come back into the light

Live your magnificence in the rhythm

and then when you got that down

Coordinate with others

And rework it all over again

Because ‘other people’ have their own

Do-be-do

and work spaces, too.

inanimate objects have

life cycle too.

The environment will degrade them.

This doesn’t happen as fast to us, because

of the doing.

So the doing is as important

as the being

and the resting.

We have to be rested enough

to even “be.”

Do-be-do with

rest.

Awareness of each “Do. Be. Do. & Rest.”

is the program and music for our era,

To survive.

To exist

To thrive.

unfolding blankets of fog

Lift from the hearth of life-rising

along solar memory lines of ground

Reshaped, dissolved, and reshaped again

The ground remembers the sun’s affection

Warmth in every direction.

Peace is music and medicine

Peace is silence and softness

Peace yields gently into greater

surrender

Moves slower, receives more

Let us find our peace inside even while

The world is dizzying, relentless

Let us make our soft, unbroken home

inside our spirit cave

safe, secure, and untouched

In spirit’s own relentless ingenuity and adaptation and wildness

Let us rise and fall

Like fog, rolls and folds and layers. May we see new smooth ways to go,

May we dissolve into rainbowed sun glow
