Body Awareness by Manas MokshaPart I. Ground
In the Earth
a Ground
minerals rich and layered
block by block
our giants take root
and fold into life
teeming with micro beings
beings in movement
doings without a moment to grasp onto
recirculating the essence of time decomposing
nematodes, protozoans, rotifers, and fungi
arise and pass as cesium atoms dissolve
into the ground of Berric lake
Awareness begins here
creating heat
driving vibration of space
the dark void of forgotten details trail like cosmic dust
one ripple then 4 leave a wake of slow synchrony each second
the fabric of ground unravel
twisting up the spine of a vertebrate
weaving a meandering network of qi
finally finding the tethered breath
nourishing expansion filtered through the still flame
it appears
out of emptiness
the ground beneath our feet
the nest for the present moment
the layers that support the contrasts
the it and not that
the "I" and not "other"
ten times faster - the strings of space
reverb and feedback
dance in pixels of friction
collapsing on body and mind
twisting through fascia
resonating into the ether
reflecting back upon each point of contact
in sensation
in perception
in experience
awareness creates light from heat
Ground and Body are one
Feeling in as if each sensation were rooted in the soil beneath our feet 05/21/2018 Posted on 05/21/2018 Copyright © 2025 Manas Moksha

Posted by Rob Littler on 05/21/18 at 05:09 AM Science is not the new art
because it always was--
we knew this already because of the language,
the words--artfully exercised
like Newton's Fire Sermon. |
