So I just wanted to start a thread for folks who have a something to share with us Superbeings.
It's basically just a creative melting pot of thread share space.
Maybe it's music. Maybe it's an event. Maybe its photography, poetry, short stories, your novel, visions, visual art, a system of healing you are working on, your new archetypal tarot system, your illustration, your inventions,your adventure to Bali, your lucid dreaming project, your recipe for superhealth you discovered from experimenting with wheatgrass and chaga, your articles, your fort you built, your dress you sewed, your meal you cooked, the ritual you enacted. I don't care what it is- I just want to know about it and we do too.
If you like something you see - comment on it. Friend the being who posted it. Start a conversation about it. Many of you share stuff to me in private. It's too cool to covet. It's too amazing to be hidden away on your phone, an email or in a text.
I am done. I simply won't be in conspiracy to hide your brilliance any longer. I will reveal you. You are utterly busted. We see you. :)
So here is a poem I wrote maybe last year sometime?
Bird in a Room
From between the crushed spaces of seconds
Blooms out of me a wave that flames my torso
It commands
I belong to it
this longing
turning over
It speeds AWAY from me
like trees you watch from the car window
elastic, expansive, a green that embroiders
it has me kneeled
and as the fire of it burns me pitilessly
I want to call you
I want to text you
To define the moment and let it sweep you in it if it could
It feels sacred
Like I should wrap it in velvet and guard it with sword
I want to interrupt your life and tell you --I love you
Not as people say it casually upon departure.
But like a precious secret.
Not as something you tell someone but as an act of knowing as an action that could
heal or uplift or change the world
No wait of something utterly new under the sun
I want it to carry the current
the ink of this place
a phrase that unfolds the delight and the true meaning
there is not really words for…
there are none.
How this feeling is impossible without you
From the heart of its revelation thru my skeleton and back
I want my words to stain you and pierce you and change you forever
Make clouds that communicate through our bellies pressed together
The rivers of respiration not in the lungs but the heart’s clear membrane
I want it to deepen your sweetness
To deepen your experience ever renewed knifeblade of morning
But I am afraid that when I open my mouth it will not convey the colors
The incessant importance of it
It will seem banal
the words common
Like the aftermath of some intricate psychedelic revelation fading
why have I interrupted your silence?
The life of these colors maybe unknown unfelt
Some masterpiece rotting in an attic
behind the steamer trunk of photographs, the dented trombone
I want it's timbre to bear the truth of what you have seen that night in san antonio
I want to open my hands and you see IT flooding the room
not a vision but irreversible truth
I long for you to see it. I don’t understand the power of it.
I don’t know what to do with it
I don’t know what it wants from me
This frantic bird in my room
It is the only treasure worth anything
I want you to watch it as it destroys my name so that
my true self is all that is left
But what I want is irrelevant
Would that grace if it could find the door
So you would feel love loving you through me

omg Mary. I am soooo moved by this poem; with tears of stinging beauty I sip my coffee and read, no imbibe, the tapestry of sound, color, image and feeling that emanates from your gift.
I see you. I feel you. You are nameless.
