warming up to eat
Patrick 1/22/11
Patrick 1/22/11
Warming Up:
Become aware of sensations, breath, emotions, body parts, bones, flesh, structures, smells, organs, belly, feet, sexual parts, etc.
Healing is listening and responding to our body with loving kindness. Spend a few minutes doing this without talking. (sounds and laughter are o.k.).
[Michael starts to sweep because the floor is still dirty.]
PC: Let your arms, head and upper body go on a ride while you are sweeping.
**
PC: Open eyes. Do eye circles. Remember warm up is an integration of all parts of your body. Let your eyes lead. They can move your head up and down. Let your arms help. Arms literally open your rib cage giving more room to your heart.
Make sure wrists and fingers don’t cut off the energy direction of your arms.
Og can move you too. Og thru arms
MK: I can feel when my entire body, even psyche, joins in the moving initiated by my eyes.
PC: head, heart, and og can lead you up.
**
[Michael’s agenda is to investigate his difficulty eating meals with people.]
1. MK: I lost my connection to you while preparing our food.
PC: what are the feelings that come up when you lose connection?
MK: shame and fear.
PC: what is a loving way to respond to shame and fear?
MK: It’s o.k. (even good for shame to be ashamed to lose connection.)
And it’s O.K. for fear to be afraid for cutting connection and being disconnected.
PC: Other feelings?
MK: Pride and arrogance for serving the meal well.
PC: And these feelings are o.k. too?
MK: Yes. I’m proud that I’m proud.
And proud to discover I’m arrogant.
PC: O.K. now we’re ready to eat.
Let’s pray.
M.K. Your prayer helps me feel connected to you and our earth-sky spirit.
PC: feel free to move between feeling we, then back to solo I,
Then back to I and You, back to We or solo I and so on.
Some “We” is our “I” feeling connected to the universe (or spirit of earth and sky and all around us and in us and us) and not to the person we’re eating with. Another We of course is to feel and be connected to the person we’re eating with.

Before I take a breath my body and blood destroy love

When Joseph and Mary marry
we move people who know us
when disconnected

*****
December 20 Freedom from Trauma
When the king hears that a miraculous child is born
he murders all infants in our neighborhood.
I escape to Egypt with the trauma of knowing
that my existence
after conception
and again after birth
causes catastrophe.
In Egypt, singing songs on Passover,
inspired by the ancient Hebrew slaves
learning from yearning to be free,
we’ve faith that we too will be moved by life’s tragedies
to create miraculous strategies.
*****

*****
December 22 Aware Air Cares
Every spring we travel to Jerusalem where our Passover Seder
inspires us to create new ways to be free.
When I am twelve, while my parents are journeying home,
they are shocked I am missing.
After searching for three days
they are amazed to find me teaching adults in the temple.
I tell my negligent parents to join my new family
breathing in nourishing air
a parent who always cares.
*****
December 23 Where is My Father
A childless old priest, Zachariah is honored
to alone burn incense in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
Besides the altar a radiant messenger greets him saying,
“Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son.”
Zachariah, trembling with awe, stutters,
“How can these words be true?
We’ve tried our whole life to have a child
and now my wife and I are old.”
Doubting the words promising that his dream will come true
dams Zachariah speechless until my cousin is born.
Elizabeth’s pregnancy, like my mother Mary’s, is traumatic.
Joseph wanted to send Mary away.
Elizabeth hid for five months.
After Elizabeth gives birth, Zachariah lets her name the boy
John.
No one in the family ever had that name.
Zachariah, like Joseph, must have wondered who
fathered his son.
No wonder John and I look for a father in the sky.
*****
December 24 Baptize Us Wise
When my cousin John was strong enough, he escaped from
his parents to live in the wilderness.
John, whose conception had silenced his father the high priest,
was inspired by the silence of the desert to silence everyone.
People came for this quiet peace
they thought had been beyond their reach.
John’s hands holds heads under water,
Commanding: “Do what you oughta.
May desires you have to share, care
be strong as your need for air.”
When submeged by John’s hands
suddenly I understand
we need to be re-conceived
with a love that always frees.
My first gulp of air
feels breath’s a prayer
creating with love
peaceful as a dove
birth of an adult child
who’ll find how in the wild
earth water sun and sky
parent us or we die.
*****
December 25 Wind Dance Within All Ways
no solid food
frees me from moods
so wind I breathe
dances in me
nourishing cells
guiding me well
I’d like to fly
even if I die
by diving in
to loving wind
but I’m a man
who walks on sand
when moved by greed
to rush seize squeeze
I want to scream
in this bad dream
stone please be bread
or I’ll be dead
but freeze my greed
until you seed
desires to free
humanity
with loving care
that’s always there
pray all adore
the folks next door
including me—
especially thee:
divinity’s
in all we see
all hearts please bleed
for we who need
caring so all
unique ways called
may freely be
community
*****
December 26 The Cat’s Meow
Sitting in my kitchen
after teaching philosophy
I feel I’ve discovered the meaning of life:
we’re all like white blood cells
in the body of the universe
doing what we can to help
when we are called
just like my father did as a fireman whenever there was a fire.
When this thought ends
from my rooftop I hear a meowing cry
I might have ignored another time
but since tonight answering calls is the meaning of life
I walk out onto the roof
where I see a skinny calico cat.
I give it some milk.
In the morning with my girlfriend’s help
I pull the cat down the fire escape
while the cat grips tightly on the railing.
Since I am stronger than a seven pound cat
I bring the cat to the parking lot
where it immediately hides under a car.
My girlfriend says you now have a cat.
I name the cat Uni for Universe.
His name and meows remind me:
keep meowing for response;
keep responding to meows.

Before I take a breath my body and blood destroy love

When Joseph and Mary marry

when disconnected

*****
December 20 Freedom from Trauma
When the king hears that a miraculous child is born
he murders all infants in our neighborhood.
I escape to Egypt with the trauma of knowing
that my existence
after conception
and again after birth
causes catastrophe.
In Egypt, singing songs on Passover,
inspired by the ancient Hebrew slaves
learning from yearning to be free,
we’ve faith that we too will be moved by life’s tragedies
to create miraculous strategies.
*****
December 21 Animal Love

*****
December 22 Aware Air Cares
Every spring we travel to Jerusalem where our Passover Seder
inspires us to create new ways to be free.
When I am twelve, while my parents are journeying home,
they are shocked I am missing.
After searching for three days
they are amazed to find me teaching adults in the temple.
I tell my negligent parents to join my new family
breathing in nourishing air
a parent who always cares.
*****
December 23 Where is My Father
A childless old priest, Zachariah is honored
to alone burn incense in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
Besides the altar a radiant messenger greets him saying,
“Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son.”
Zachariah, trembling with awe, stutters,
“How can these words be true?
We’ve tried our whole life to have a child
and now my wife and I are old.”
Doubting the words promising that his dream will come true
dams Zachariah speechless until my cousin is born.
Elizabeth’s pregnancy, like my mother Mary’s, is traumatic.
Joseph wanted to send Mary away.
Elizabeth hid for five months.
After Elizabeth gives birth, Zachariah lets her name the boy
John.
No one in the family ever had that name.
Zachariah, like Joseph, must have wondered who
fathered his son.
No wonder John and I look for a father in the sky.
*****
December 24 Baptize Us Wise
When my cousin John was strong enough, he escaped from
his parents to live in the wilderness.
John, whose conception had silenced his father the high priest,
was inspired by the silence of the desert to silence everyone.
People came for this quiet peace
they thought had been beyond their reach.
John’s hands holds heads under water,
Commanding: “Do what you oughta.
May desires you have to share, care
be strong as your need for air.”
When submeged by John’s hands
suddenly I understand
we need to be re-conceived
with a love that always frees.
My first gulp of air
feels breath’s a prayer
creating with love
peaceful as a dove
birth of an adult child
who’ll find how in the wild
earth water sun and sky
parent us or we die.
*****
December 25 Wind Dance Within All Ways
no solid food
frees me from moods
so wind I breathe
dances in me
nourishing cells
guiding me well
I’d like to fly
even if I die
by diving in
to loving wind
but I’m a man
who walks on sand
when moved by greed
to rush seize squeeze
I want to scream
in this bad dream
stone please be bread
or I’ll be dead
but freeze my greed
until you seed
desires to free
humanity
with loving care
that’s always there
pray all adore
the folks next door
including me—
especially thee:
divinity’s
in all we see
all hearts please bleed
for we who need
caring so all
unique ways called
may freely be
community
*****
December 26 The Cat’s Meow
Sitting in my kitchen
after teaching philosophy
I feel I’ve discovered the meaning of life:
we’re all like white blood cells
in the body of the universe
doing what we can to help
when we are called
just like my father did as a fireman whenever there was a fire.
When this thought ends
from my rooftop I hear a meowing cry
I might have ignored another time
but since tonight answering calls is the meaning of life
I walk out onto the roof
where I see a skinny calico cat.
I give it some milk.
In the morning with my girlfriend’s help
I pull the cat down the fire escape
while the cat grips tightly on the railing.
Since I am stronger than a seven pound cat
I bring the cat to the parking lot
where it immediately hides under a car.
My girlfriend says you now have a cat.
I name the cat Uni for Universe.
His name and meows remind me:
keep meowing for response;
keep responding to meows.

December 30 Air Born
I am here
with you now
you are here
with me now
I am you
you are me
when that’s true
we both see
that all nights
bring our morns
and we die
to be born
loving you
who love me
being true
we are free
*****
December 31 Song Through Songs
love and fun
in shade and sun
and health and wealth
to our dear ones
and everyone
No One Can Be Thanked Enough
No One Can Be Thanked Enough
Our neighbors for not burning down our house

Our police for not putting us in jail
Our therapists for not locking us in a mental institution
And most especially you
for reading this to the end
and still remaining my friend.

Before I take a breath my body and blood destroy love
by swelling my mother Mary’s womb
I move her fiance Joseph to divorce her
until Joseph’s love for Mary inspires him to hear in a dream
that a messenger from god is my father.
When Joseph and Mary marry
we move people who know us
when disconnected
to connect imaginatively.
*****
December 20 Freedom from Trauma
When the king hears that a miraculous child is born
he murders all infants in our neighborhood.
I escape to Egypt with the trauma of knowing
that my existence
after conception
and again after birth
causes catastrophe.
In Egypt, singing songs on Passover,
inspired by the ancient Hebrew slaves
learning from yearning to be free,
we’ve faith that we too will be moved by life’s tragedies
to create miraculous strategies.

*****
December 22 Aware Air Cares
Every spring we travel to Jerusalem where our Passover Seder
inspires us to create new ways to be free.
When I am twelve, while my parents are journeying home,
they are shocked I am missing.
After searching for three days
they are amazed to find me teaching adults in the temple.
I tell my negligent parents to join my new family
breathing in nourishing air
a parent who always cares.
*****
December 23 Where is My Father
Our kinsman, a childless old priest, Zachariah is honored
to alone burn incense in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
Besides the altar a radiant messenger greets him saying,
“Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son.”
Zachariah, trembling with awe, stutters,
“How can these words be true? My wife and I are old.”
Doubting the words promising that his dream will come true
dams Zachariah speechless until my cousin is born.
Elizabeth’s pregnancy, like my mother Mary’s, is traumatic.
Joseph wanted to send Mary away.
Elizabeth had to hide for five months.
After Elizabeth gives birth, Zachariah lets her name the boy
John.
No one in the family ever had that name.
Zachariah, like Joseph, must have wondered who
fathered his son.
No wonder John and I look for a father in the sky.
*****
December 24 Baptize Us Wise
When my cousin John was strong enough, he escaped from
his parents to live in the wilderness.
John, whose conception had silenced his father the high priest,
was inspired by the silence of the desert to silence everyone.
John dunks people in the water commanding them
let float away
your selfish ways,
then helps them rise
with him to cry
each breath of air
moves us to share.
When submeged by John’s hands
suddenly I understand
we need to be re-conceived
by a love that always frees.
My first gulp of air
feels breath’s a prayer
creating with love
peaceful as a dove
birth of an adult child
who’ll find how in the wild
earth water sun and sky
parent us or we die.
*****
December 25 Our Ways All Ways
no solid food

so wind I breathe

guiding me well
I’d like to fly
even if I die
by diving in
to loving wind
but I’m a man
who walks on sand
when moved by greed
to rush seize squeeze
I want to scream
in this bad dream
stone please be bread
or I’ll be dead
but freeze my greed
until you seed
desires to free
humanity
with loving care
that’s always there
pray all adore
the folks next store
not just me
it’s too easy
divinity’s
in all we see
all hearts please bleed
for we who need
caring so all
unique ways called
may freely be
community
*****
December 26 The Cat’s Meow
Sitting in my kitchen
after teaching philosophy
I feel I’ve discovered the meaning of life:
we’re all like white blood cells
in the body of the universe
doing what we can to help
when we are called
just like my father did as a fireman whenever there was a fire.
When this thought ends
from my rooftop I hear a meowing cry
I might have ignored another time
but since answering calls is tonight the meaning of life
I walk out onto the roof
where I see a skinny calico cat.
I give it some milk.
In the morning with my girlfriend’s help
I pull the cat down the fire escape
while the cat grips tightly on the railing.
Since I am stronger than a seven pound cat
I bring the cat to the parking lot
where it immediately hides under a car.
My girlfriend says you now have a cat.
I name the cat Uni for Universe.
His name and meows remind me:
keep meowing for response;
keep responding to meows.

Before I take a breath my body and blood destroy love
by swelling my mother Mary’s womb

When Joseph and Mary marry
we move people who know us
when disconnected
to connect imaginatively.

December 20 Freedom from Trauma
When the king hears that a miraculous child is born
he murders all infants in our neighborhood.
I escape to Egypt with the trauma of knowing
that my existence
after conception

causes catastrophe.
In Egypt, singing songs on Passover,
inspired by the ancient Hebrew slaves
learning from yearning to be free,
we’ve faith that we too will be moved by life’s tragedies
to create miraculous strategies.

*****
December 22 Aware Air Cares
Every spring we travel to Jerusalem where our Passover Seder
inspires us to create new ways to be free.
When I am twelve, while my parents are journeying home,
they are shocked I am missing.
After searching for three days
they are amazed to find me teaching adults in the temple.
I tell my negligent parents to join my new family
breathing in nourishing air
a parent who always cares.
*****
December 23 Where is My Father
Our kinsman, a childless old priest, Zachariah is honored
to alone burn incense in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
Besides the altar a radiant messenger greets him saying,
“Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son.”
Zachariah, trembling with awe, stutters,
“How can these words be true? My wife and I are old.”
Doubting the words promising that his dream will come true
dams Zachariah speechless until my cousin is born.
Elizabeth’s pregnancy, like my mother Mary’s, is traumatic.
Joseph wanted to send Mary away.
Elizabeth had to hide for five months.
After Elizabeth gives birth, Zachariah lets her name the boy
John.
No one in the family ever had that name.
Zachariah, like Joseph, must have wondered who
fathered his son.
No wonder John and I look for a father in the sky.
*****
December 24 Baptize Us Wise
When my cousin John was strong enough, he escaped from
his parents to live in the wilderness.
John, whose conception had silenced his father the high priest,
was inspired by the silence of the desert to silence everyone.
John dunks people in the water commanding them
let float away
your selfish ways,
then helps them rise
with him to cry
each breath of air
moves us to share.
When submeged by John’s hands
suddenly I understand
we need to be re-conceived
by a love that always frees.
My first gulp of air
feels breath’s a prayer
creating with love
peaceful as a dove
birth of an adult child
who’ll find how in the wild
earth water sun and sky
parent us or we die.
*****
December 25 Our Ways All Ways
no solid food

so wind I breathe

I’d like to fly
even if I die
by diving in
to loving wind
but I’m a man
who walks on sand
when moved by greed
to rush seize squeeze
I want to scream
in this bad dream
stone please be bread
or I’ll be dead
but freeze my greed
until you seed
desires to free
humanity
with loving care
that’s always there
pray all adore
the folks next store
not just me
it’s too easy
divinity’s
in all we see
all hearts please bleed
for we who need
caring so all
unique ways called
may freely be
community

December 26 The Cat’s Meow
Sitting in my kitchen
after teaching philosophy
I feel I’ve discovered the meaning of life:
we’re all like white blood cells
in the body of the universe
doing what we can to help
when we are called
just like my father did as a fireman whenever there was a fire.
When this thought ends
from my rooftop I hear a meowing cry
I might have ignored another time
but since answering calls is tonight the meaning of life
I walk out onto the roof
where I see a skinny calico cat.
I give it some milk.
In the morning with my girlfriend’s help
I pull the cat down the fire escape
while the cat grips tightly on the railing.
Since I am stronger than a seven pound cat
I bring the cat to the parking lot
where it immediately hides under a car.
My girlfriend says you now have a cat.
I name the cat Uni for Universe.
His name and meows remind me:
keep meowing for response;
keep responding to meows.

to be born
loving you
who love me
being true
we are free

January 1 I’m Your Friend Through the End
If you ever need a friend
who will love you through the end
I’m your friend
through the end
I’m your friend.
If you ever need love
that fits you like a glove
I’m your love
like a glove--
I’m your love.
If you fly through the sky

If you fall from the sky
I will glide
by your side.
So wherever we go--
even when we’re like foes,
we are friends
loving friends
through the end
