Thank you, Gaea, for bringing in the deep beauty of Rilke and the profound question of remembering. Two hands in prayer position, one the rising sun, one the setting sun, one the morning star, one the evening star, one the wild essential biological self, one the funny person with a life. All is alive! With love, Rachael Selene, Sharry, Ma, Gaea and Abby,

Thank you for your swirling presences in my life and in this unique journey of breath, respiration and inspiration.

Thank you, Gaea, for bringing in the deep beauty of Rilke and the profound question of remembering.

Two hands in prayer position, one the rising sun, one the setting sun, one the morning star, one the evening star, one the wild essential biological self, one the funny person with a life.

All is alive!

With love,
Rachael

How like you to dress in the wild finery as a display of your essence. The David Whyte poem reminds me of one of some of my favorite lines from Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, which do seem appropriate at this time of year: "You have to have been among the shades/tuning your lyre there/if you want vision enough to know/how to make lasting praise./ You have to sit down and eat / with the dead, nibbling their poppies/ if you want enough memory to keep/the one most delicate note..." I send you much love, wishes for deepest forms of healing and gratitude that you are here sharing your heart and soul. Be well, dear one. You do move me, and this post brought me to tears.

There you go, dancing through life to the ER. What a joyous picture I have of you. And go grateful that you are still here to share more life with us. I have listened, again and again, to I Am Alive.

I know that Alarm! and I bow to your meeting it with consciousness. I breathe a deep, slow breath in your honor. Dedicate it to our combined over 100 trillion cells. Wow.
