Recognition: An Invitation to Now
We meet in Presence, unbound by maps and clocks. Here, on the underside of time, minutes melt into the precise depth needed for aliveness to rekindle.
I am always, already here. It is always, already NOW. And still, I forget. I forget.
In the presence of this honesty, good and bad meld together until I can no longer tell them apart. In the presence of this honesty, I remember that I am, and we are.
I open to the possibility of renewed attention. A warm wind stirs sensation awake in every cell. A feeling I recognize dawns freshly in my heart as I meet an old friend for the first time. A knowing gathers without strain.
Gratitude surges as I realize the only word my lips remember is the only key that unlocks this door. Silently, in a whisper, or in full voice, I say YES.
Here’s an audio reading of a poem about recognition…
My name is Kirsten. I accompany folks as they attune to the inner experiences of life in spiritual direction, a place of presence and connection, a place to anchor briefly amid the chaos, a spacious place to be seen and known. To read more about this type of accompaniment, visit my offerings page.
