BODY-MIND-THOUGHT INTERPLAY…<\/p>\n

Imagining sitting in a fifties-diner, next to the table-jukebox\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 a melodeon of sorts\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I might playfully insert mental coins, and push buttons to hear a half-remembered song\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 maybe catch a mood to carry forward\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 My mind drifted then to recalling an article written by a friend\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 He was explaining how our fluid underlining mental-emotional states, or stances, actually shape how we see ourselves and others. Images might float like tunes keyed up by some inner melodeon\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 we then feel the need to fix or objectify them with our thoughts and stories about our psycho-physical conditions… And in doing so, we then just remember the solidifying stories, and miss the significance of the emotional flow, or fundamental basis of the moment. We tend to skim over the openness and flow at our center, where moods like the weather evolve. We miss the whole of our embodiment, and dwell in the conceptual… Confined in our heads, we feel somehow disconnected to the vitality and richness of the open moment NOW\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Ken\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s poem doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to follow that familiar melody\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 He seems to be writing a new song in the freedom and depth of the open moment\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

MELODEON MONDAY
\n\tby Ken McKeon<\/p>\n

Nearly a week now after the year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s turn,
\n And the town remains
\n Stillness itself,
\nHardly any traffic,
\n No birds to speak of,
\n The morning light\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s
\n Silent, angular, and spare,<\/p>\n

I find myself the reporter of mood and air,
\n I find myself saying what I see:
\n Little flecks of rainbows
\n Float above
\n The deeply maple kitchen island,
\n They are the discs dropped in
\n By the grand jukebox
\n Of elevated nowhere time,
\n The multiples of tunes
\n Are as silent as unseen ancient snows,
\n And they squawk out as rawly
\n As just wakened hungry crows, <\/p>\n

They are the pink of my fingertips,
\n The rippling belly folds
\n Of the stirring day,
\n They are quite other than I am,
\nThey are turning interpenetrative spheres of time
\n That volume out
\n The silence at their core
\n And the day becomes
\n Whatever songs there are
\n That we might wish to sing,
\nNo coin needs dropping,
\n No charge, no way, that free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
