Song 17
Yours is the Yoga
Of
Power
&
Vulnerability
You use it to cross the bridge of decision
This I Know
Because my Spirit
Tells
Me
So
~
All
This
Glows
In my thinking heart
As
I
Descend
The
Beauty
Of
Ara o Te Kinga
Oblivious
To
All
But your face
To love you
Is
To
Love
My
Soul
Above
Kotuku Whakaoho
In
Hopes
Sustaining
Grace
3/6/12 (Moana)
‘Ara o Te Kinga’ is the track up the side of Mt Te Kinga. Mt Te Kinga is my mountain. It overlooks Kotuku Whakaoho: in Maori, ‘flapping of the white heron’s wings’ (Lake Brunner). As I descended the track I pondered a phrase I’d heard from a friend who spoke of her use of ‘power & vulnerability’ in a challenging situation. Moving down the track I turned these complimentary opposites within me. I also connected with an image, one of the faces of my muse. I felt alive, hopeful, close to Poetry. To love the creative feminine, is to love my soul. The Self recently spoke to me: ‘You need to honour the rose within you, or suffer the consequences.’ 12/6/12
