The Spontaneous Writing Circle is a peer-led group in The Mystery School.
In timed sessions, a member will read a poem or excerpt of prose after which the group write what's present to each of them, unedited and uncensored. The intention is to have the words appear while any effort to create them is surrendered. Each person then reads their writing to each other, and no critique is offered. This absence of distinctions and value judgments has created an open and lively space of ease, appreciation and creativity and a constant experience of wonder. This piece was written in one of these circles.
It is said: Energy can’t be created or destroyed, only converted, changed from one form to another.
So,
Maybe, if there actually was a Big Bang – one of many, I imagine, again and again – all that burst out of NoThingNess into an expressed SomeThingNess – Is a conversion of some form of energy, always already there – here – before and behind and within the Big Bang.
I often imagine that Bang happening because two fields of nothingness rubbed against each other and ignited a happening.
In that story, the Universe we know emerged out of –
Nothing touching Nothing,
Potential touching Potential
Contact, connection, the press of touch so Intense, Intimate that
something burst
Open
Nothingness Unfolding
Breathing itself into existence
A love song,
A fertile birth
A delight
Can we, can I, make space, be open, fluid, boundless enough to be with the layers of experience, layers of being, Kaunas,
From the very small and personal, all the way
Turtle by turtle
Out to the most infinite dance?
And … crying and laughing, be awed that there is anything at all, by Being Itself …?
