C17: via Late Latin sōliloquium, from Latin sōlus sole + loquī to speak

sōliloquium

at dawn

i welcome my soul with a bird song

this is my holy communion

dissolving into a romance with life

bright face of a first dandelion

dancing in the morning dew

sunbathing linen

barefoot heart

fire pit at the set of the spring sun

what is unfurling now?

from the fertile soil of my soul

into the overground of my life

heavy bumblebee lands on a yellow dandelion

to drink fresh nectar of the unfurling spring.

i am thirsty too

for the sacred sweetness of rebirth.

layer upon layer

unfolding perfectly

the flower of life

i remember you. you were soft and tender like a beach in the middle of spring - the graceful movement of pastel lines, delicate beauty and vigorous grace. you used to love gathering handfuls of wild flowers only to recompose them back in the earth and cover by a shard of glass so that they didn’t loose the connection to the skies; beauty reimagined. you loved and loved and loved, endlessly, effortlessly. you cared deeply and you were in service in the simplest and natural of ways, moment by moment. you felt intensely, instantly - an inner radar of sorts. when and how did it all become a burden, i do not know.

i embrace you my child. you are intimately, innocently mine. you are the essence of my soul that i am unearthing from the depths of my inner nature. you are back, unfurling softly. oh my primal soul, your big intuitive heart and fiery vulnerability are moving freely in less restricted and limited ways now. i now remember that i am you.

or perhaps it is the other way around… you are embracing me. i am the lost child that is waking up from a long dream.

how do I embrace my self now; the one unrestricted, the unlimited all-in-one. the lines of my being are being slowly pulled into transcendence to allow me to embrace more of this life by seeing and reflecting beauty in all that is. the art of living in bare truth opens into wide spaces where the unrestricted and the unlimited reside within the softly expanding lines of my evolving being; all-encompassing. i don’t need to know how.

i embrace this life in all its wilderness. hand in hand with my inner child, learning to trust her deeply, I now discover the lands within the unrestricted and unlimited v a s t n e s s and create from the d e p t h s of my being. even at the crossroads and at the verge of messy confusion, the journey is being revived; in continuum. every ‘now’ is a blank canvas where colours and textures are imminently invited to dance with the senses. this sensual feeling and deep knowing interweave to create the mastery - unrestricted, unlimited; The mastery that is ever-evolving within the boundless great mystery of the journey itself.
