YOU WHO LET YOURSELVES FEEL
By #Rilke, 'Sonnets to Orpheus' Part One, Sonnet IV; tr. #JoannaMacy & #AnitaBarrows

You who let yourselves feel: enter the breathing
that is more than your own.
Let it brush your cheeks
as it divides and rejoins beside you.

A social post from @lifeboatacademy. The background photograph shows a close-up of cornflowers — Centaurea cyanus — in soft blue-purple bloom growing alongside a weathered wooden fence post in warm, low-angled sunlight. The flowers are at various stages, from tight buds to fully open, their silvery-green stems and leaves catching the light. On the fence post, just above the nearest open bloom, a bumblebee clings to the wood, its black and yellow banding visible. The shallow depth of field blurs the background into soft greens and warm tones. The image is intimate and unhurried — the kind of small, particular moment of garden life that is easy to walk past and just as easy, with attention, to find genuinely arresting. Over the lower portion of the image, in white text with a subtle dark outline: "Gratitude is liberating. It is subversive. It helps us to realize that we are sufficient, and that realization frees us. — Joanna Macy." The bee on the post and the flowers in bloom — each doing exactly what they are, no more and no less — sit quietly behind Macy's argument about sufficiency as a radical rather than passive stance.

Macy once wrote, "It is good to realize that falling apart is not such a bad thing. Indeed, it is as essential to transformation as the cracking of outgrown shells. Anxieties and doubts can be healthy and creative...because they permit new and original approaches to reality."

I was sad to learn the other day that #joannamacy is in hospice. I came to her teachings late but really resonated with her #ecodharma. Wishing her ease and joy for her passing and transition to whatever is next. #mindfulness #embodymind #engagedbuddhism #theworkthatreconnects

“Do not look away. Do not avert your gaze. Do not turn aside.” This is a time for radical attention and total acceptance of events around and within us. Stay awake. Keep your heart open. Bear witness. ❤️🙏 #buddhism #meditation #joannamacy #thegreatturning #bskysangha

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: It's walking the razor's edge of the sacred moment where you don't know, you can't count on, and comfort yourself with any sure hope. All you can know is your allegiance to life and your intention to serve it in this moment that we are given. In that sense, this radical uncertainty liberates your creativity and courage. — Joanna Macy
