Forever; Thank You

“Playful, complex, contemplative,

doubling back and looping around,

Within myself reflecting.

Singing the Body Electric – patient, waiting,

What will be revealed.

Forever dancing – grateful to be led, 

Apart and together – strengthened by the trust and grace,

that which skips ahead my trace,

And that lead turning back calls, “come away my beloved the stars await.”

And my soul follows, awed and humbled in the infinite, 

no longer afraid.” 20 May 2020

My interpretation of the poem.

 

Describes me:

“Playful, complex, contemplative,

doubling back and looping around,

Within myself reflecting.”

 

My Evolving Design drawing:

“Singing the Body Electric – patient, waiting,

What will be revealed.”

 

The body electric is me in the action of drawing in the absorption of discovery and grace – illumined presence

 

My Divine partnership:

“Forever dancing – grateful to be led, 

Apart and together – strengthened by the trust and grace,

that which skips ahead my trace.”

 

It is a dance our joining and drawing, and there is immense gratitude for the lead

And I am strengthened by the trust and grace of the divine holding and guiding me

 

There is me, drawing, and there is “that which skips ahead my trace.”  That is, the divine guidance (Source) that leads ahead of my drawing (tracings).  

 

We are apart, and come together when we draw together seamlessly

 

And the promise of the trace (Source), the entreaty, for me not be fearful to see a consciousness continuing (after earthly death) in the infinite, in the eternal stars:

“And that lead turning back calls, come away my beloved the stars await.”

 

My response to the promise, the destiny revealed by “that which skips ahead my trace”:

“And my soul follows, awed and humbled in the infinite, 

no longer afraid.”
