inspiration

	feelings in my heart
NvA (a funny unpoetic non-name)
	it feels right
it's the kind of revolution I want to dance in
	laugh in, hug in
first workshop feelings of exuberance and
	euphoria
but wanting a reality context
	experiencing the strength of nonviolence

and then questioning, questioning
	is NvA just chronic niceness or is it real?
poetry or illusion
	truth or naivety?

the inner voice whispers
	follow that which feels
		right

avoid		intellectualism

	the path
can be found simply through stillness
	and following
the deep
	wisdom flowing through the universe
	flowing
thru me in
	stillness

	so I will follow my heart
on the shimmering starry path
	set for fathomless liberations

	NvA is drawing me
and I know that I am meant to follow
	experience experiment live
and see the test of time tested

I am woman
	I am spinstress, witch, webweaver,
	embracer of humans, lover, loved,
singer, storyteller, world changer, Celtic
descended and sprung from Murray soil
	conceived as Mandela went to prison
26 as he emerges

	O, the walls are tumbling
the birds are flying
	the peanut has shrivelled
	and East Gippsland is safe for two more flights
around the sun while we gather our power
	the world is tumbling
in a chaotic joyful dance of rebirth

	I can feel it in my blood
NvA is the way it will happen
	the saving of our world
it's in the hugs and grins and love of my friends
	the snuggling of the possums and flying foxes
and the humming of the bees

	and in me
vibrant, buzzing vortex, a spiral dance
	of molecules, genes, gas and water

	I am and I laugh
		in the cosmic wind
Peace, Jenni Cargill
