‘Magnolia Lung Music’ – March 2020

the magnolias
play for you
their sundrenched
exuberant
music

Seed
Musings on the life force slumbering in seeds and buds, on a cold, moonlit night, under the stars.
Is it the sun’s love
that coaxes life
from hiding in the seed
out into being;
spirals of colour,
swirling,

whirling,
light piercing shell?
Or does the see itself
yearn to be other
than trapped
within cocooned walls
And wish to tear itself asunder
in search of Light?
– Caroline Flavin

Words reflecting a meditation practice of unraveling, un-being and becoming.
I AM
THE UNITED STATES OF BEING
EMBODIED,
ENSOULED,
ENRAPTURED,
ALIVE,
ON FIRE
– Caroline Flavin
