GRATIAS by Larry Goodell Delicate energies. Elliptic of the egg of the universe. Our teeny home larger than the span of creation. Right here instant of the know it all moment. The moving momentum, swung around energies that is so small ego washes out and the still center which is never still and not the center is everywhere I look and look out from. Paradox of the center of my mind what can I know? what is there? and where? Again, I need, freely given, you, whoever you are whatever, when, where the kiss of the peace of love which started it all long before humans, before kisses the great joy of being that expressed itself in the embrace of the beginning that loved itself out into space, the creation of habitable and uninhabitable worlds in process, in development, in the eye of evolving being catching the light for the first time. Oh first light be my light oh what could it be that started up but some form of love be my love in the free form of caring that comes after receiving sight through the rampant urge to survive to hear, feel its way perceive smell get out of the way find, feel, eat, clean itself, oh creature embryo beginning, baby of light, egg of the sun’s path star guiding stars, guiding planets, teeth grinding food grown and hunted, chewed up swallowed in the heat of the gut, energy to the brain breath to the lungs, green to the leaves, seasons swinging summer into fall into winter now. The fire of the fruit wood prunings, be my fire in the stove in the step-down living room, be my hogan be my freely given energy, come what may my unmerited favor from the love of beginning light God, water spirits, earth rhythms be my freely given, unworthy bungler in my own skin drunk orange juice water vitamin C, fighting this cold nose draining, fire popping, warmth from growing watering pruning drying burning be my warmth as it always was as you favor me no matter my faults they are lifted and your influence warms me, your spirit revives me operates to regenerate and strengthen as I sit in the middle of the night, stars up through the clear skylight be my stars, the moon out the west window be my moon that inhabited my history be my guide as the source of love burns on and the heat from the burning wood fires my heart in concordance with your gift from ancient Chinese and Greek & native texts and from right now you, in the spirit of its pleasure that expanded to everything good in the pulsing game of life & battle of instincts and learning peace be my grace, gratias, be my freely given, be the favor and love you honor me with gratias be the influence, the spirit you are operating around me, in me, forever beyond me be the grace I read of and feel freely given in this that warms everything and speaks now gratias. Be the gift you are which is love freely given from within. Gratias. © larry goodell, 2015
