This Formulation of Will.

I’ve always loved the perspective offered in poet, Theodore Roethke’s words. He speaks of the inherent passions within, and the need for the soul’s unabiding exploration.

“I fear those shadows most that start from my own feet,” he writes. Those shadows which are self created; a formulation of desire and will.

We mark the darkness, yet miss the light.

Yet something as simple as silence carries us home. Through which the heart finds pace within the ‘symphony’ of world.

And, caring not these ‘requirements’ of day – the sustenance of a society driven to impress.

In these moments, we find our place – within the arms of Nature’s tender embrace.

“The fields stretch out in long unbroken rows.
We walk aware of what is far and close.
Here distance is familiar as a friend.
The feud we kept with space comes to an end.”

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️
