Schuyler, god damn, it feels so good to receive your art. It's like all dripping in honey; such gooey richness. Phoebe's poetic expression, too, is so tasty.
The piece I would add to your emergence pre-reqs list is: a desire to feed the sacred & make life more beautiful.
Schuyler… thank you. I really appreciated the wisdom in this post. Excellent.
It is all more subtle and felt forward in these times. Some of that sensing forward instead of “goal-setting” i am integrating now into my organizational thinking and support. This post is a keeper for me. Sorry I cannot make tomorrow as is too often the case. Thank you again. 🙏
Hi Schuyler. I love this piece on emergence. Your naming and articulation help me see more clearly the focus of my inner life and work. As I read it, I realized that most of my poems are about emergence. Here is one :)
Stream
It begins with movement
as if the water has finally come.
A flower is blooming
and here I am– a new fragrance
gentle petal offerings.
Over time my wonder awakens.
I find myself in the roots too
and the gritty soil
even the insects and the stirring at the edge of sight.

Ohhhhhh yeah. That’s essential. I really like FEED the sacred. Thank you for receiving so fully. 💗

Hello Lyn, thanks for writing. I’m so happy to hear that it landed. Such good work to do this with organizations. They need it.
Wednesday not tomorrow…

One day I ask
May I be water?
As impossible as it sounds
it is the only thing that makes sense.
At first I ask because the stream
seems to come from elsewhere
and I don’t know the way
but then I ask
because I must speak directly
know for myself
and the sparkling flows fuller,
lifting within me –
sweet water home.
