Ric's Poetry Open MIc 7 March 2017

Hello fellow writers,

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 and darkness, slowly, albeit 
very slowly, is shifting, and my entire being tracks, hungrily, the days when 
sunshine and warmth appear.

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 sense 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 energy. "Because 
anything that touches it might destabilize it," says herbalist, author, poet, 
Stephen Buhner.

But this deep sort of communication, words, phrasing, posture, and physical 
relationship to the environment 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 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 in this sunny blue-sky day. And just in time for the Fisher 
Poet Gathering 2017 in Astoria this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.......

Until our next poetry open mic.....:
