The Ceremony of Right Now

eye read this…


“Become who you need to be,

so you can heal who you had to be.”


there is a beautiful truth in here

inspires me to walk with it…

but there is also a culture that lives

in this perception…


as it moves in me…

bringing eye to the intent of “need”

we might choose

to take care of

bring our eye to

the nuanced ways

we speak to ourSelves

in the crafting of our living

how we language

and move and integrate meaning

both reflects our internal experience

and guides it

We become who we are

by living our lives

as the Ceremonies they are

Inherently.

conSensually

reverently

inviting beyond urgency

moment by sacred moment

ever cultivating a Self/Selves

that perceives and lives

A Life as Ceremony

in this s l o w d e e p

curating of living

healing finds itSelf

richly a part of that living

intentionally

rising quite naturally

from the very practice

of nourishing the soils

of and as Ceremonial Living

nourishing the fruits that emerge

a practice that inspires itSelf

a relentlessly chosen way of life

(r)evolutionary contextually

an emergent path

in the walking of it

melting the leaching patterns

of numbing

of judgement

of guilt and shame

in my perceptions

healing as a way of life

as the focal point of living

is a distraction

and inspires living the Selves

in perpetual anticipation

of some future Self idealized

which does not invite nor conjure

the emocean as Celebration

of me within me in the Right Now

and it crafts patterns

that compel us to all ways

live in the future

our mythological presence projected

into something that does not yet exist

it also inspires me to center trauma

over recognizing it honestly

over reverence for the ways

my glorious bodies

moved to protect me

over centering my gratitude

within the grace of mySelves

and the power reflected

within my survival

the truth of my humxnity

honoring how eye

navigate/d wretched violences

as these Sacred Selves

it is here

in the culture of reverence

where eye reflect on whether and how

those protections might serve

the collective of me now

in life’s continuing emergence

moment by moment

contextually

walking slowly

lovingly with those places

of me that can storm

and this is in~deed an ocean

eye bring deep reverence to

a worshiping

at the altar of mySelves

an honoring of the wisdom

of my survival

eye bow here…

even as eye art my motions

as the practice of guiding them

healing as an all ways point of focus

(even as eye might be telling mySelves

eye am not doing that but my motions

Speak more clearly the truth)

draws me away from culturing

Ceremonious Living in the Right Now

draws me away from

re membering

re embering

the Whole ærotic beauty of me

Right Now.

healing happens…

both

intentionally and unconsciously

in the practice of Self Reverence

in Ceremonial Living

but is not the point

nor culture of my reason for living

and this nuanced distinction

is light years wide

for eye am Ceremony

always

all ways.

and if eye am all ways Ceremony

then healing in a violent culture

ancestrally and person-ally

is inherently an aspect of my living

healing as a way of life

as the focal purpose for living

assumes brokenness

draws me into living and deepening

patterns of belief

as fissures between

consciousness and beingness

as the mythology in consciousness

that eye am broken

and not the truth eye am inherently

quite passionately

in all ways

Whole

brokenness cannot live

in my Sacred Mythology

it is non resonant

non harmonic

with the conditions eye curate

it’s culture

does not See nor honor me

Whole and power~full

and if eye am Whole

and power~full

then eye must take care

to assume my Wholeness

as eye craft my language

as eye cultivate and live

The Mythology of a Dragon

this personal truth

rises from watching

my children grow

self directed

in a co cultivating home culture

of autonomy and agency

imperfect and messy

holy and sincere

where eye have observed

urge in mySelves

again and again

urge in other parents and caregivers

again and again

to live children in their

projected potentiality

for their own good

inspired by the violent pressures

of capitalism

racism

sexism

ableism

queer phobia

inspired by the relentless oppression

of a power over culture

it is here

parents and caregivers

steal from themSelves

and from their children

the nourishing alchemic beauty

and deep power

of their loving gaze

on their children

for who they are Now

celebrating them Now

deep listening to their children’s

internal compasses Now

and showing their children

how much they trust them Now

in such a culture

children reflect

pattern what they absorb

to emerge to know

to emerge to trust

themSelves

instead we often live

some future perception of them

story and romanticize them

in our minds

some of this is a fear

as preparing them

for a perceived future

on and as a grievously violated planet

even as cultivating

in relationship with children

beyond coercion

beyond compulsion

beyond authoritarianism

moves as a nourishing alchemy

as partnership

as purposeful

as the living of consent

as an emergent arting

and mutuality of trust

reverence as environmental activism

as deeply loving

as the (r)evolutionary motion

of living our lives as our own

a reclaiming…

some of this is living out

our personal and ancestral

conversations

on their lives unconsciously

where the portal invites

our 𝘦𝘺𝘦 and its holy integrity

and we can lose Sacred Sight of them

even where they are standing

beautifully

poetically

artfully

power-fully

right in front of us

deep in the wonder of their evolution

in the blinding of our storms

we can lose our Sight

of the potent fires

as the breath of life living within them

of the deep waters

as all that conspired to bring them

into the Right Now

we can lose ourSelves

to uninterrogated fears

interpreted

and wrapped up in mythologies

as old sacred protections

moving outside of our awareness

ancestral and personal

for some projection of tomorrow

we are lost to our inherent humility

in the desperation to believe

we can fathom the future

but truly we can’t

the way eye gaze on mySelves

emerges as the ways

eye gaze on my children

and in the reflection of

my celebrating of them

they re ember in me

again and again

the sacred celebration of mySelves

a Sacred Synergy
