will it always be thus … that


i am as an empty vessel
standing
waiting silent to receive

being filled to overflowing
and
i pour me out completely unto emptiness again
cycle after cycle unto emptiness again
empty vessel
standing
waiting silent to receive

and i hear it rushing mighty like a wind
and i feel it like a fire rushing through me once again
the power and the presence and

i am filled to overflowing
and i pour me out completely
unto emptiness
again
cycle after cycle unto emptiness again.
empty vessel
standing
waiting silent to receive

David, I love your words! And your love for the divine, your embodiment in the world and your artful living. I too stand openly, silently, receiving the full heavy charge of life's nourishment and direction, then outflowing and sharing with others, thrilling to be present now and through successive cycles.
