WITH THAT SWEET MOON LANGUAGE From our Wild Nature Heart full moon hike, over the shimmering waters of the bay. bats and buoys and the rolling waves as our soundscape, and a great horned owl to tuck us into our dreamscapes. ——————————-———————- Everyone you see, you say to them, Love me. Of course you do not do this out loud; Otherwise, Someone would call the cops. Still though, think about this, This great pull in us toconnect. Why not become the one Who lives with a full moon in each eye That is always saying With that sweet moon language What every other eye in this world Is dying to Hear —Hafiz Ancestral Yurok territory 📍 🌊 THINGS THEY SAID TO ME LAST NIGHT IN THE TSUNAMI ZONE You’re not getting out until the truth forms a dawn in you. I’ll gather up the finest moon and lather colors on the edge I’ll blow a new wind through the dunes through all your sunset silhouettes I’ll scatter several shooting stars among your pretty confused heads. But truth be told you’ll not get out until the final truth can shout. The gate is locked, the gate is closed! It won’t open until all’s disclosed. The gate is closed, the gate is locked! it won’t open until all’s unblocked— the inner chamber where waters start the ears to hear the healer’s art the hands to hold the truest friend the eyes to see the pattern’s end. This is the Tsunami zone where the taste of love, the very pulse of life carries the threat of drowning You’ll want to flee to higher ground where everything seems safe and sound You’ll want to keep one foot out the moment’s door, to feed the doubt The secret’s there, you know its truth For so long we’ve been telling you: To stay in you and ride the wave to blessed be and boldly brave and flip that mighty mermaid’s flip until shapes of love form your lips the waves still crash upon your shore but not the conflict anymore. #ryanvanlenning Ancestral Wiyot Territory 📍 —————————————————— You can get RE-MEMBERING: Poems of Earth & Soul. and High-Cooing Through the Seasons: Haiku From the Forest through your local bookstore, on Amazon or Indiebound, Link in bio.
