“love is not a symptom of time
    time is just a symptom of
                love”*


the leaves fall all around
the cold wind rises + falls,
   it is a hushed, gentle
    wind.
It tells me -
    “yes,     quietly  ,
    softly,   in good time ,
   gather and move all life” -
It brushes its many hands
    along my cheek
      and forehead
    and says  “love
        rest
         be still
        a moment
     I am holding all
           the prayers
   let me show you
     how they feel
         upon your skin”


they have come so far, I
   know the flavours whether or not I’ve
stood on that soil -
all the textures of the silent voices
chanting ‘help us’,
   ‘let us be together’,
and I sing
    the all-one song
may we all ways work
    together for love
me and you,
   alive and dead,
      body and spirit,
    all you
  named and unnamed
all  me - known and unknown


and as the wind says
“ always “
and lightly scatters tiny raindrops on us,


I am ready
  to listen,
to call out,
     listen,
    be still.


  re-member
    the heat
    generated
           inside


carry
     the fire,
           the breath,
               the light

My practice occurs predominantly on the stolen lands of Wurundjeri and Bunurong people, part of the great Kulin Nations. I offer my gratitude, thanks and love to the Elders and Ancestors of this place. I pay my deepest respects to the traditional custodians of these lands, waters and skies, and all kin, without which I would not be able to live and practice. Always was, always will be.
