Ra Ma Da Sa, Sa Se So Hum

Meditation!

Eloquent language and incredible words may be truly beautiful! They are blessings! They are nourishing, insightful, a tapestry of woven threads of destiny remembered and given! You may not remember, as I do not, the very first blanket you were wrapped in as a baby, the soft woven threads of this blankie, comforting you, a blessed miracle of wonder~ You may not remember the first sounds you sent into this world, little, little reverberations, soft, as the sound of a feathered dandelion seed reaching a sunspot upon a blanketed lawn, angelic, as a billowing curtain breezed yawn, and gentle wind chimes~ Ra ma da sa, sa se so hum~

I remember the first time I ever saw the ocean! A sand dollar, the whiteness of circled star flower, building mountains with swept sand as the sailing sun was setting, somewhere in the great West~ Running on the beach at night, looping bright sparklers through the air~ The ocean, so very much, so very big~ I remember the first time I took a bath in my parent's tub~ And picked up a conch shell sitting upon the tile~ Holding this up to my ear, I heard the sound of the ocean~ And remembered~ Ra ma da sa, sa se so hum~

I remember the first time I ever sang with my mom as she played by ear, "Lullaby", on the piano~ I remembered this lullaby she had sang to me, like knowing the sound of the waves wonderous and free, and I, a conch shell holding the sounds of the ever rushing sea~ The ever cascading song in me~ Within you, the notes of love true, knowing these before your very first coo~ Ra ma da sa, sa se so hum~
