Poem by Dorothy Walters

Dorothy Walters is a dear mentor of mine and I treasure all her writing, guidance and her very being. Andrew Harvey considers her to be the greatest living mystic poet. I feel so honored to have this special relationship with her. Here is one poem of the many of hers I will post on this blog.

Don't Make Lists

Every day a new flower rises
from your body's fresh soil.
Don't go around looking
for fallen petals
in a fairy tale when you've
got the golden plant
right here, now,
shooting forth in light from your eyes,
your awakening crown.

Don't make lists or explore ancient accounts.
Forget everything you know
and open.

—from Dorothy's book Marrow of Flame
