Conversation with a Modern Sacred Man
This is part of a performance piece I will be performing with a sound healer to address the ills of ourselves and our country.
Part I of III…My Calling
My calling I hear you
I can feel your Soul with my eyes
in a desire that inspires…
I can taste you with the lids of my eyes
in the lyric of my tongue.
My ears ring your echo, your song.
I am inspired by your source.
I am glad to be in your presence
and I breathe in the grace of the life within you
be with you in this sacred place.
I am an echo of you.
My breath and my voice are a gift from my mother
my grandfather and grandmother, my aunt… my people before me.
You know this truth as I know my own soul.
My calling it is sacred
as is my heart and my voice.
I breathe in the light and love of the morning
the hope of living as do the trees
as I am walking and talking
songs to my soul as I take a breath
trying to breathe like trees breathe.
I see and hear the old stories of eternal life echoing within my soul
I breathe in response to the breathing of the trees…
all breathing without asking,
My calling is so sacred
as is my heart and my voice
and I can taste you in my soul.
I open my heart and breathe in the grace of this room.
I breathe in the breath of my calling…
my getting next to you.
In order to be your own gifting allow yourself to surrender
to the flow of your true desire to feel and hear clarity…
learn to see the map of the journey unfolding
always in a calling back to source.
You can let go of what you think is holding you.
It is just the gripping of your fears
the holding on with eyes full of falling tears…
while losing one’s vibrational connection to life
while losing your life.
I reach out my hand in compassion and understanding.
I reach out my hand and heart to know you as love.
I reach out to you with my open ears
as I am opening to know love.
What you hold your attention to will eventually hold you
in the care of its arms.
My calling is sacred
as is my heart and voice.
Belief is a part of the law of attraction.
Sit with your inner being to tune into the flow
so you may know the awareness of the alignment
that allows you to hear source energy.
Safe within the chambers of my soul
I tend the flame of life.
I burn the passion of being a spiritual being
having a human life.
I step into the fullness of being
a spiritual happening every second
an ash rising in pure faith.
My calling is sacred
as is my story, my heart and voice.
I am speaking in a sacred conversation
so I may hear you as you begin to hear me.
I am afraid you will disregard me
and I am afraid of separation…
my calling is sacred and I am not afraid of you
I just want to know you more deeply
so I can hear the sound of your loving voice.
Anything that leads to union is called yoga…
so let’s do yoga so we can be together.
Let’s move and sing together.
Let’s breathe together
so we may know our place of belonging
in union with the intention of being loving in sacred conversations.
