I Am Consciousness

The volcanic activity in Hawaii reminds me of this poem that I wrote at Jean Houston’s home is Ashland, Oregon during her 2013 retreat entitled The Next Great Step: Transforming Intention into Action. Our assignment was to write a poem in a very limited amount of time (3 minutes if I remember correctly). This forces one to get out of the left/linear brain of analysis and into right/non-linear brain of creativity. This is what flowed through:

I Am Consciousness

Yesterday, today, tomorrow
I Am
Beginning, middle, ending
I Am
Big bang, quantum particle
I Am
Flower budding, child birthing
I Am
River flowing, mountain fuming
I Am
Yesterday, today, tomorrow
I Am
Nobility, peasantry
1% / 99%
I Am
All culture, all terrain
I Am
Comet blazing hot matter
Extincting cold
To blaze again
I Am
