#159 Poet Assassin (with Mieke Jacobs)
Mieke Jacobs (poet, coach, thought leader and systemic teacher) returns to the Dome to share from her book Poet Assassin; a fittingly-titled collection of “dense and ethereal” poems that excavate the collective psyche. It’s a fitting title for a body of work that flows through the mind and heart and yet is also sharp like an edge that cuts through the noise and speaks truth in a way that can be deeply felt in the body.
With profound insight and honesty, Mieke reads from Poet Assassin and shares about her inspirations, processes, and meditations on the exploratory question behind the artistry of this book: “What is this strange, beautiful, glorious, and at the same time excruciating life about?
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published"Grace" by Mieke JacobsIf it be Your will
I will stumble and fall
Flat on the ground in full surrender
I will pray and wait
Wait
Wait
Until the larger movement of life is taking me
Once again
If it be Your will
I will walk towards the River
And give myself to it
Feeling the river feeling me
A graceful witness to my toil
When I try to push the river
Once again
If it be Your will
I will walk forever
I will walk barefoot
I will ride bareback
I am willing to stand naked
In front of the Truth
Once again
If it be Your will
I will stay
I will come into form
I will live this life
This glorious and excruciating living of life
I will come
I will be
Once again
If it be Your will
