The Red Zone
The Red Zone
gleams
like a shining sea
like a rushing river
like a vast ocean
Looking closely, though,
Clods, sticks, and splinters
Lodge in the inflamed ripples
Of stagnant concentricity
Building Amassing Accumulating
A toxic wealth
Of stuck emotions
Suppressed impulses
Occluded memories
Every new discomfort
Every difficult dream
Every challenging confrontation
Lodges deep in the red muck
When a newly perceived danger appears
the inflamed ripples
vibrate the survival vibration
vibrating the clods and sticks and splinters
the conscious mind
the memory of wounds and dreams
vibrating the challenging confrontations
the fear of death
vibrating into Fight or Flight or Freeze...
But The Red Zone
is simply Chakra One
temporarily compromised
Chakra One,
The Sea of Entitlement
The Sea of Belonging
The Sea of Feet on the Earth
The Welcoming Nourishing Earth
As we allow ourselves to
feel and breathe and remember
and let in the support around us
The Earth support
The Spirit support
The Human support
the red muck will give up its
clods and sticks and splinters
the inflammation will cool
the ripples will resume
their outward concentric journey
The Red Zone
will return
to the deep still
red sea
it once was
The Sea of The Birth Rite of Entitlement
The right to Simply Be Here
