FLUENT IN BLOOMING

“I want to be fluent in Blooming.

I want to trust the possibility…”

that out of chaos, beauty;

Out of sadness, deepened joy.

I want to be fluent in blooming.

I want to know what it’s like to FLOW;

To be in a predictable

Growing groove.

I want to be fluent in allowing…

Allowing new buds to form, new flowers to unfurl,

New seeds to sprout,

Trusting that in this transition season

I am becoming fluent in blooming.

Blooming with what is.

Rather than bracing, hardening, and resisting

what has unfolded,

I want to stay curious, as if a packet of

Wild flowers has been carefully tossed into

the prepared soil of my life,

and now I’m waiting to see

what might bloom in this season.

I want to be fluent in blooming

Listening to the sun, to the rain, to the soil

Of my own particular life-space;

Noticing what is wanting to bloom here,

Wanting to ‘push through the earth’

And say hello.

Less a master, and more a servant

to what pushes through.

I want to be fluent

In surrendering to what is popping open.

I want to trust the possibility…

of tending and crosspollinating in new ways:

New hybrids of flowers arriving to

dance and spread and root down in

Together.

I want to become

FLUENT in blooming.

This is my spiritual practice.
