Celluar Destabilization

The sun shines warmly today. My bones feel the heat and my heart is beating more closely towards the light—stronger against the wall of flesh and skeletal frame holding it contained. A winter of cold grey wet darkness slowly, albeit very slowly, is shifting and my entire being hungrily tracks the sunshine and warmth. 

Our human body and the environment must track each other continually or life  would long ago have become extinct, said Richard Lewontin, American biologist,  evolutionary geneticist. I know this inside on a core level and understand how sensitive I am to all incoming data--electronic, environmental, emotional,  physical and spiritual--minute shifts in light, warmth, and sound—all these energies. "Because anything that touches it might destabilize it," says herbalist, author, poet, Stephen Buhner.

This deep sort of communication—words, phrasing, posture, and physical relationship to the environment and oneself all matter and impact our internal dialogue on a cellular level. Which ultimately determines what we create and how we generate a  response outwardly to the world. 

Let the sun shine, the skies open to their blueness, and the warmth penetrate  into our souls.  May your inspirations for creating beauty and richness, word-by-word, be forever happening for you on this sunny blue-sky day.  And just in time for the Fisher Poet Gathering 2017 in Astoria this Friday Saturday and Sunday.
