What to Remember When Waking, by David Whyte

 What to Remember When Waking 

by David Whyte  

In that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,

coming back to this life from the other

more secret, moveable and frighteningly honest world

where everything began,

there is a small opening into the new day

which closes the moment you begin your plans.

What you can plan is too small for you to live.

What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough

for the vitality hidden in your sleep.

To be human is to become visible

while carrying what is hidden as a gift to others.

To remember the other world in this world

is to live in your true inheritance.

You are not a troubled guest on this earth,

you are not an accident amidst other accidents

you were invited from another and greater night

than the one from which you have just emerged.

Now, looking through the slanting light of the morning window

toward the mountain presence of everything that can be

what urgency calls you to your one love?

What shape waits in the seed of you

to grow and spread its branches

against a future sky?

Is it waiting in the fertile sea?

In the trees beyond the house?

In the life you can imagine for yourself?

In the open and lovely white page on the writing desk?

Cherry blossom

Gift from the park

Nostalgia 77 - cherry blossom

Lyrics:

"Cherry blossom should be your name

You were gone as soon as you came

When the first wind shook your branch

Cherry blossom

Won't you stay just for another, another day

Or in the morn would you be gone

Away, away, away, away

Perfect ain't perfect anymore

Perfect ain't perfect I heard him say

I'd rather leave than grieve for you

And this picture ain't a picture either anymore

Though I know it was before

Before the grey wind took me up

Away, away, away, away"

"In our nature" by José Gonzalez

Love, love is a verb

Love is a doing word

Fearless on my breath

Gentle impulsion

Shakes me, makes me lighter

Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire

Fearless on my breath

Night, night of matter

Black flowers blossom

Fearless on my breath

Black flowers blossom

Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire

Fearless on my

Water is my eye

Most faithful mirror

Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire

Of a confession

Fearless on my breath

Most faithful mirror

Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire

Fearless on my breath

You're stumbling in the dark

You're stumbling in the dark
