I Am
El/09
Practice
Lighting candles before practice,
Some director in my head critiques the setting.
Noting background, lighting, sound,
Narrating everything like I'm living a documentary!
And I'm listening to this chatter as if IT is my reality.
Who is it that comes between me and my experience?
Time slows, candles glow, I begin to meditate,
Then Kathleen Battle sings Vorrei Spegarvi, Oh Dio! -
Sweet Shakti!
Laughter bursts through me
And I really am lighting the candles.
And breathing in this body I love
And my hands move past the candlelight, dancing.
El...2001
