Awakening
Awakening may not be
Christ’s Ascension or Buddha’s Enlightenment,
but a woman begging for food, for answers,
starving till she is filled with bodily sensations-
muscles twitching in fear
acid refluxing in anger
a heart soft with love.
Awakening may not be
eternal peace or the absence of pain
but a woman embracing her emotions
as orphaned children in her bosom,
her body their temple of refuge,
space to be free
and loved unconditionally.

How true it is!!whether we say it or not.
But , love can silence hunger...it will give itself as nourishments,
love can wipe away fear.
When love is -there are no orphans.
The presence of pain does not wound love.
So spacious is love.
One can clean the carpet, wash the floor and be enlightened.It can happen anywhere, anytime....when the boiling water fall on your feet you won't need anyone to tell how much burning it can be!
And you could leap out of your bath tub crying 'Eureka'!!
