One blind, one not
touching palm to palm
one leads the other
up, down, over, sideways and back
one sees, one feels
arm against arm
shoulder against shoulder
ear pressed against the ear
both move slowly, gently this way and that way
grass beneath foot
back to back
looking away and inside
to feel without anticipating
who is leading now?

she moves to her own rythm
pounding down on the hard ground
swinging high from cloud to cloud
and paints a new prism
to move, to express, to heal, to sing
to find out more - click
The Heart of Moving his beautiful jewels jingle in the sweet summer air
warm sounds of soft colours caress your hair
his faith so strong his ears open and listen to the call
of amida's great love for all

Come with me to a place where eternity stands still
where bodies bend and move at their own free will
and hum to the sounds from their heart beat chords
press on into the night and express the pain of nil
with Amida, dear friend, loyal light and anatman

and so a proposition
to live and see another day
of you and me and by the way
tomorrow never comes
another bite and premonition
of something big and hard to swallow
and so I'll chew until tomorrow
another day goes by
but the night is young
and the air is sweet
the grass feels cools beneath my feet
as we watch the sun go down

Here's a bit of information about what Somatic Therapy is.
Somatic therapy is a profound complement to Buddhist and humanistic therapies
through its holistic concern with the integration of psyche, soma and spirit. The
cultivation of embodied consciousness is seen as crucial to its application in
professional practice, therefore experiential and personal process are explored and
supported throughout. Skills development through partner work, group process,
discussion and feedback, focuses on awareness practice, hands-on bodywork and
movement therapy. Movement observation and the accurate identification and
perception of personal material is encouraged through study of specific body
systems, their integrity and integration, and their unconscious and conscious
expression. The interplay between eastern and western theories with somatic practice
offers further dimension to this enquiry

song
you rang me up just to ask me
the same old thing absentmindedly
I smiled and whispered but then wondered
whose voice you thought you heard
til the sunsets, have no regrets
for life is short and we are young
this is as good as it gets
I hung up and went in search
for the answer that's found in our church
in the silence of Ra that moves up above
below and between, mara my love
til the sunsets, have no regrets
for life is short and we are young
this is as good as it gets
you rang me up with a heart that yearns
and I answered like a fool that never learns
to slow down and smell the flowers
and appreciate all those magical hours
til the sunsets, have no regrets
for life is short and we are young
this is as good as it gets

and when the time comes for me to die
will I be ready to say good-bye
to all my friends
and all my loves
that I have placed on high
For Amida waits for me
in the place where all is free
Amida Buddha
is the one I long to see

I feel stretched. The more I try to ground myself the more my head gets stuck in the clouds. No wonder I feel torn apart.

The streets that meet and intersect, the way they join each other, the way they cross through, if you look you will find Amida. Not on the straight street, and not the high street, not the one going to the back alleys and not the ones going round and round. Amida is where one meets another and the effect is that one ends up going in a completely different direction.

But if it puts a smile on your face, I'd give everything away and turn everything upside down. What do I care if I've got no money and nothing is the way it should be if I can put a smile on your face. To end the world of meanness, of stingy-ness, of coldness, I need to make you smile.
Maybe one day it will happen, in that unexpected gift, or unexpected gesture that even I wasn't sure existed in this world.

When things go wrong as they are bound to do why does it feel so terrible? When our plans don't turn out the way we expected why think that it could have turned out any other way?
The fool is happy to be sad and sad to be glad when the world suffers the way it does.

Some people can see Buddhas everywhere - and if not then why not create your own.

poetry
Does your mind register all the knots?
How about the twists and turns
and tangled spots
of distorted views and misperceived plots
Mine hammers and stammers away the nots
the shoulds and musts
and forbidden thoughts
of darkened sins and evil shots
so what is left is not the don'ts, won'ts and forbidden nos
but the aches and pain of stress and fear
for the don't goes and the worry flows
stressed and tensed and full of oughts
when the master says don't fear, dont't panic, just let it go
the slave hears fear, panic and so it goes
cos the mind latches only what it can feel
and don'ts and won'ts are hollow echoes
But oh! When frail vulnerabilities expose
or other such strong and powerful prose
of love and beauty and truth revealed
the heart is mended and the spirit grows
so next time the self starts to crow
Don't be stupid! Don't get it wrong!
Think twice and change the tune and song
to affirm the beauty and love from head to toes

poetry
still waiting
waiting still
for the move to stop the beating
of this useless heart
beating still
still beating
the love that died years ago
but kept alive
through an active mind
still tracing
tracing still
the outline of the ghost
hiding in my heart
still waiting
waiting still
