Centering - Fly a Little

Yesterday, I was in one of those all day meetings and today I woke up wondering if my comments were as disconnected yesterday, as they feel today. And then I remembered the words of Joy Harjo, Native American poet, “The saxophone is so human, its tendency is to be rowdy, edge, talk too loud, bump into people, say the wrong words at the wrong time, but then, you take a breath all the way from the center of the earth and blow. All that heartache is forgiven. All that love we humans carry makes a sweet, deep sound and we fly a little.” I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, flew a little, and then started my morning prayers / meditation. http://www.joyharjo.com/Poetry.html
