are we awake now?

You know,
like in the sweet little moment

and if we aren't,
can we slip slide stroll hop
on back

without wasting the usual time
of "shoulda" been
there all along
without wondering wandering:
where were we when we
got lost "over there"

just coming on back

easily

this is why Gurdjieff work
with it's underlying brilliance
is often so boring:

endless sermons on man is asleep
and
okay
then what:

wake up
for the joy of being awake

or for the sake
of the Earth we are wrecking

or for the freedom
of living with others
in something that could
be called
Love
if it needed to
be
called
anything

la,
la,

have an awake
reading
of this:

if you wish

five paths, when is hearthbreak heartbreak?

five paths for my
life
and perhaps for my assistance to
you
as well as myself:

Mindfulness

Loving

Serving

Caring for the Earth

Learning


In there comes a yoga beyond yoga,
based on being present
and learning
and kindness to ourselves so that every person
in every class learns how to move more easily
in their everyday life,
not just attempts to get "better" at various poses.

In there:
moving with mindfulness and ease
if ailing in back, shoulders or neck

In there:
moving with more ease
and grace
to dance, walk, ride horses,
garden, do sports,
whatever you love
in a way more pleasing and fun

In there:
learning to talk and be present

In there:
learning to garden and
go about ecological action
in a soft and sweet and
mindful way

In there:
finding the love
inside of so called heartbreak
and learning how far
and wide we can fly
with something far more vast
than the usual "forgiveness"

The self is small
the Big Self is immense

One is the false home
one the real

that's the whole journey
really,
and then sharing, caring
and helping others with the journey

and today's exploration,
treat,
inquiry
at 108 Days: Undoing a Wonderful Relationship
with Love and Learning is:

Marlie and I are insane to be undoing
something when we are so wonderful and aware
and have such good times a lot:

Is that true?

This funny thing, God

God is a word,
sending some people to
war

we don't have
to be like
that,
do we?

God can be your smile
or your frown

God can be the hot day
or the "perfect" weather

God can be the way
I realize how
dumb I've been sometimes
or
how
brilliant others.

God can be you
when you bother me,
and I realize,
hey, the botherment
(you heard the word here, first,
maybe)
is in me
and then I can
remember
to love you
just the way you are imperfectly
you...

And hey,
while I'm at it,
why not treat myself
just as well?

Ah, God,
wouldn't that be
nice?

Yes,
and

the smile on waking
up
to such ease
grace
and
love
is another way
that God
is
in
our lives
...

Oh,well
what are you going to do
if today isn't a struggle

And God
just seems to be leaking out
of every little this
and that?

body and soul

this will be more longly celebrated
at The WakeUp-Feldenkrais Blog,
but for now, let's have a short,
sweet,
start.

Body:

some say: it's not really real
and then, if they get a stomach ache
they fall to pieces

so,
real
or not,
what is real is how we move this "body"
from computer to bed to garden
to love making to walking
to gardening
to loving
our selves and others

of course
or course
the heart loves
the body just plays
along and gives the skirts
and the sizzles
and the lost moment
the orgasm
of forgetting the cares
of the world
the ecstasy of working up to the orgasm:
all reminding us:

now is
God

forgetting
is remembering
who we really are

and what part does the "body"
have in our possible reawaking to
our "soul"

who knows

are we smiling now
and
are
we happy with our breathing
and
are
we happy
with the shifting
to awareness
or simply happy
dwelling in
awareness

who know?
is that what a body is for?
to bring us to some place
where we can quietly
remember:
ah,
this is me,
now,
alive

possibly
