Brimless Being
Sharp edges, sharp endings, things
that shatter like teacups on tiled floors,
hurt feelings, resentments, things that
bind like too-tight shoes. Let them go.
All that doesn’t fit hand in glove,
The not-me’s, not-us, the no’s and
nevers, let it all go. It never was nor is.
These negations of the positive, like
The negatives of photographs, or
shadows of trees, are what trail
behind and never touches,
never stains. Pay it no mind.
It will be what it will be when
looking askance, outside ourselves.
We’ll never find what’s real there.
Instead, let all sharp edges and endings
Dissolve into such lush spaciousness
that every falling cup is caught
with soft hands. And filled to the brim
with brimless being.

Lovely verse and perspective on being vs chasing shadows. Thanks Deborah.
Thank you, Brad. I really appreciate that, and like the way you’ve framed it here.

…brimless being – continuing to flow and be filled to the brim with brimless being…
Thank you for this October gift, flower-sister.
I’m glad it spoke to you. Thank you for that. Hugs
Let them go – all things negative and stifling – very true. Beautiful.
Thank you. Not easy but essential it seems. A lifetime practice.
