DAY 2 ~ NOURISHING
Rest in Loving Senses
​
And we begin to surrender body and soul to the language of Life,
To the shapes and colors and smells and tastes and textures
And sounds and sensations
Within and around us.
We notice the shifting interplay of rhythm and patterns
That weave beneath and beyond -
A host of loving possibilities
Breathe through us,
Awakening us to honor their presence,
To engage in sacredness with their gifts.
We hold the rainbow spectrum
With awe and tenderness
As the creative energy stirs within us,
Waiting to unfurl in joyful, sensual service.

nourishing: An invitation to commune with and listen deeply to the essence of Nourishing in heartful presence, holding the following reflections in your heart.
​
Let's sense into essence
Into the Essence of Essence
Each Essence a consciousness all of its own,
A quality a wavelength, a wisdom a tone,
A unique vibration,
An exclusive sensation,
A pulsating partner in all of Creation.​
