The following “image-poem” emerges from a series of dreams I had last week. In one I meet “the beloved” and am suffused with Love, my chakras opening, pulsing up and down vibrantly. She shows me a huge grape vine with tiny grapes coming in and as well, a larder filled with food. In the second dream, I prostrate myself before a rinpoche. Now he is a man I once knew, now dead, but here very much alive. He speaks of the “I-God”. He radiates an aura of love. We hug warmly, intimately. We eat together and he becomes a divine animal, licking his plate with soft growls of pleasure. Lastly I am eating in a restaurant and I hear a voice, singing an impossibly beautiful song. Now I ‘hear’ angels weeping, and I jerk out of my chair with surprise, now also weeping:
within the earthly
the ‘within’ of the earthly
love abundant
freely gifted
to each of us
surrender …
as the earthly
the face of the earthly
beauty radiant
love made sensual
gift of the divine animal
surrender …
voices weeping
weeping weeping
share the weeping
no more sleeping
allow the deepening
surrender …
