Earth - Equinoxes
The affirmation for the Yang Meridian - Stomach - is: "I trust in the mystery of life." Not always equally accessible.... And for Spleen, the great Yin metaboliser of all our experiences: "I nourish myself with love".
Trust Serves Me
Whether you call it God, or Source,
Whether you call it Love or Spirit,
Whether you call it religion or not:
We are more than form.
Knowing this, why do we scurry
About our lives so busily
We forget that being,
Matters more than doing.
When I am in a spiritual place
It is easy to stop and observe.
When I mistake my identity, for the things that I do,
I am not a clear vessel, and cannot serve.
When I try to control what will happen,
And try to prevent, what will be,
I am out of the flow, and must step back in.
Trust serves me. Faith is a superpower. Trust serves me.

Whilst unaware of the date, I was working on the above poem whilst engaged in some climbing guide research in Morocco on Valentine's Day. (For me this involves a lot of climbing, walking and sitting around or doing yoga in the sun, waiting for the bolting to be finished. I didn't have it quite right yet, so I paused, and decided that it was going to be part of a trio about 'Faith, Hope, and Love'. At which point, the poem about love came straight into being - it was waiting in the ether somewhere, ready to be invited in! The following day, I managed to tidy this one up. The Anti Atlas mountains around Tafraoute are a very spiritual place - and so are all the little granite outcrops around town. :)
