Poem To TCC

CENTERING…FOCUSING…SINKING INTO THE ARMS OF MOTHER EARTH
I breathe in calm … I let go of chaos.
I breathe in peace … I let go of my scattered self.
I release my spirit to soar with joy and song …
… as the circle of life goes on.
… as the circle of life goes on.
Yesterday’s illusions have no place in the clarity of this new hour …
I let them go.
My spirit rises on the currents of the morning warmth …
as I send a prayer of gratitude for where my path may lead.
My buried dreams … my heartfelt longings …
I gather, embrace, bring into my heart space …
and release to the wisdom of the universe.
The Chi flows … and dances.
The Chi creates … and teaches.
The one lesson to be learned … Send LOVE … Give LOVE … BE LOVE.
Open to LOVE … Accept LOVE … Welcome LOVE in … with a song.
… as the circle of life goes on.
… as the circle of lie goes on.
My offering to you … and to you … and to you …
… the gift of serenity … the power of balance …
… the release of tension … the nourishment of self …
… and the pure joy of movement … the wonderful joy of movement.
Feel the power … feel the softness …
feel the stirring of excitement as the Chi flows with an effortless effort.
Feel the water of the stream as it warms and becomes the cloud …
… as it drops to the earth as rain …
… and joins the stream …
… only to rise again and continue the endless cycle of birth and rebirth …
… as it dances its own song.
… and the circle of life goes on …
… and the circle of life goes on …
