Yielding - Maya Spector

[Larry Robinson]

Yielding
 
 
When I inquire
about prayer and opening
to the Great Mystery,
the I Ching responds with
“Field/Yielding” and
the Mother Goddess,
the Dark Animal Mother.
Six young yin lines,
no relating hexagram.
It is pure and clear
in its message.
She gives blessings.
She receives the dead.
The field is open
and enfolds all things.
It is my task to yield
to each arising moment.
There is no way to doubt or to
brush away the guidance
with the customary wave
of my cynical had.
I am in a great field.
I yield.
