and
you will know space
as an intelligent resource

so discovered
through the power
of the pause

For Allen

Listen

Listen oh heart
to the mystery, to
the breeze dancing trees, to the
silent ripples that cross the quiet lake

go within where they go, oh heart
go to the shore where wisdom awaits you
tread the circumference
honouring
honouring each discovered treasure
when you find them you will know and embrace them oh heart

they will feed you
they will be simple

MChallis @ 2015

In the spaces that once held the ones we loved or loathed
are rooms where silence sits to wait upon us;
to precisely bring with it the thought that can caress,
if needed, or spur, if wanted.
And upon reflection the memories that have shaped us, and
subtly the choices within them to hold or unmake each one.
A centrifuge the potter’s wheel – the mind.
The choice always within our crafting gifts to mould,
to throw, to release or to refine.
Which memory will I spin today?
What forgiveness to bestow or fondness to befriend?
Such is the choice with silence my contemplation brings.

MChallis @ 2015

Turn my head
to what is simple

My heart
to what is true

My body to
it’s deep knowing

Each sense
each pulse
each rhythm

Intuition anchoring
Elemental truth

Let us take a position
of composition
a dance friends, together
of non opposition
of flow.

At the centre

Of your being

Is a mystery

Quieter, stronger

More silent that imagined

You can anchor there

In all seas and seasons

It is close by,

And always possible to

Enter in simplicity

Such stillness

my friend

the enemy

wakes me up

and I am grateful
