(To the people of Little Willow)
A poem by Raven Chiong
There’s something to be said…
Go, step into the long lost well of sacred silence. With courage, dive, free and deep into Oceans of open space, listen to your own Voice, follow your own drum.
There’s something to be said…
above the din of “progress”, above the cacophony of Other.
Dry Grasses beckon, Ancient Canyons echo with no syllable or rhyme:
Disconnect, unplug, return to Earth Mother, come Home, weary traveler, to your Self.
Walk.
Slow.
Sit.
Stay.
Attune to the Place where symphony of Cottonwoods meets sweet silence of Sage, where Rocks speak, Rivers sing, and Shooting Stars have Voices.
There’s something to be said…
Who’s resonating?
Who’s calling?
There’s something to be said…
Are you listening?
Can you hear?
There’s something to be said…
Only the Dreamer, Awake, can say.
