Last September I ventured off to Morning Gloryville South London for a little boogie, a healthy environment and some good vibrations. I was really excited to get my blood pumping and get lots of happy endorphins running through my body (an absolute must on the way into winter). True to it's location, this event had a little south London edge, inclusive of a more casual crowd and also a semi m.cing host and performances.
While I was there for the feel good feeling, It was much to my surprise to come away feeling inspired by a chap called Ruari Obriain. He performed a really beautifully presented poem to the crowd which not only reignited the feeling of 'connectedness' within me but also reinforced my belief that we can all be an inspiration to one other and express ourselves through our own individuality and passions. It's when we home into what makes us individuals and share our gifts with sincerity, that we truly leave a little magic wherever we go.
I left the event with a real desire to share the insightful words that I had heard from him, which is he kindly agreed to. Naturally I found out that he is the host of Lyrically Challenged, a lovely event held at Passing Clouds with an open mic for poets and poetry. "I get inspired to write through the constant urge to express myself really. I was always so cr*p at English, reading, writing and so on but I always liked sharing story's and myself".
And what a gorgeous way to share it.
The lyrics to his poem are below, alongside a little video of his performance.
We all have masses of inspiration within us to offer, we just have to follow what makes us sing.
Enjoy! x
We are the spirit that lives in everything
Greater than the identity encoded in your fingerprint
Your existence expands far beyond the surface of your skin
Past the realms where u have been astral travelling
In this outward spiral that's constantly unraveling
Like the theory of string
Becoming the vines of scared medicine
That Bring us to our highest intelligence
Where we stop seeing the differences in each other and start seeing the reflections
Stop living separate and start making the connections
Open your heart and let go of all negative perceptions
No longer seeing events as good or bad and just honoring the experience
And there is no such thing is a coincidence
Because a co-in-ci-dence is just a code-in-silence
That's been put here to re-mind-us
That this life is a dream manifestating from our own fears and desires
So let the fear burn up in the fires
Embrace life to be inspired
Because love is our natural instinct
We do more that just energetically interlink
We are the spirit that lives in everything
From the warmest summer
To the freshest spring
The loudest laughter
Against the whispers in the passing wind
The darkest night
Followed by the brightest morning
The laws of impermanence
Symbolized in the flowers growing and petals falling
Forests, mountains
Waterfalls pouring
As the creator is drawing, a silent audience
Listening to a poet talking
About this crazy dream we live in smaller and bigger than we could ever imagine
From the invisible force of a spinning atom
To vibrations of love
That cover the existence in geometric patterns
As we beam with sparkles of internal happiness
Our hearts center in perfect balance
May light attract light under the laws of attraction
As we are humbled with respect, sincerity, love and compassion
We are the spirit that lives in everything
