Poem and excerpt from blog post Season of Resurrection - April 12, 2010 · by Christine on website abbeyofthearts.com:

Do you have a body? Don’t sit on the porch!
Go out and walk in the rain!
If you are in love,
then why are you asleep?
Wake up, wake up!
You have slept millions of years
Why not wake up this morning

-Kabir

Something always amazing happens when I cocoon.  Cocooning is the revolutionary act of taking care of yourself rather than pushing through. It means quieting and listening to the body’s gentle, insistent whispers.  It means slowing down rather than speeding up.  Cocooning creates space for the body to heal and in the process the spirit has space to roam freely and ponder the wide landscape of possibility.  While turning inward I rediscovered some essential things about self-nourishment which have gone neglected for too long in this overly full season of my life.  So I return back home with a longing to respond to Kabir’s invitation to walk in the rain and awaken my senses.
