Solar Light

Solar Light

How to eat the sun:

First, open the top of your head,

let solar light stream in,

suffuse your brain, beam out

from your eyes, ears, mouth.

Swallow it down, gilding your throat

like honey to sweeten your words;

let it stream down your arms

in a rush of liquid photons,

fingertips full enough to send

ten bright rays to kiss the earth.

Let it touch the prism in your heart,

multi-hues to flourish

that inner garden,

enliven your solar plexus,

radiant dazzling orb,

spill into the basin of your belly,

sparking new creations.

Let it flow through each leg,

sweeping away all kinks and creaks

to rest in warm golden slippers on your feet.

Feel the stream in your soles

spread a luminous network

in the Mother’s body,

connecting earth and sky

in a nourishing

river of light.
