Emergence
This time it was slower, emergent, wondering?
From beneath the canopy of decaying foliage, enlivening soil, I considered staying beneath the spring
Entangled, enlightened, immersed, interconnected beneath the earth with the mycelium that nurtures all of nature as one
What lay above? Disconnection, perpetual destruction of nature and human connected being
Ha! Mycelium remains impervious, replenishing, reconnecting, whispering sweet sounds of love
Flesh and body meets the soul.
And yet human I, surface I must, the sun calls, reemergence beckons
In service to the Goddess, human belonging and connected love
So too, beneath the surface of human being
Like our mycelium kin, beneath the surface of superficial present, we are inextricably connected
Through our familial DNA, culture, community, embedded roots, intergenerational morphic resonance, harbouring trauma, healing and our systemic consciousness
Footprints of the soul
Resting in the bosom of our ancestral lineage
Feeling the burden of open unseen wounds, beneath the layers of human ravaging, ravaging nature, who still sooths our wounds
Festering, unseen, unheard, unknown
In the darkness searching, and our light bearing ancestors, spirit guides, holding the key to wholeness
Can we hear them, dare we listen, find that liminal space to be vulnerable, to be healed
Where flesh and body meets the soul
The world burns, people suffer, life worlds are simulacra to be colonised by neo liberal capitalist ends
We are called to community, to indigenous wisdom & life force, to systemic integration, where salvation lies in the re-membering of human connection
Like our underground kin that binds natures resilience in the face of a tirade of epistemic injustice
There is a knowing place, a field where embodied human love prevails, acknowledging what is, connecting with what lies beneath, what is earthen, where cosmic allies urges life, where human healing is the norm
Where flesh and body meets the soul
