Yutori:
A State of Ease and Spaciousness
written by: Debra Black
@debrablack
this state of wonder,
this ease and spaciousness,
letting go,
blurring lines, time, dimensions,
merging form with nonform,
melting boundaries and borders.
this easeful spaciousness
where all is possible
nothing written or defined,
intuitive, free,
coming and going,
melting into the oneness of all and nothing,
the fullness and the emptiness.
each moment, sacrosanct, wondrous,
breathing into the nowness of now.
between the sea and the sky.
there is just this – this space.
you, me, awash in the moment.
then gone.
liberation.
a single cloud in the sky
born and reborn.
