Esalen

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth, Travel / February 4, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

A poem arising from the author’s experience at Esalen in the ’80s

The Fire Walk

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / tagged Belief, Faith / February 3, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

There’s a trick to
walking across a bed of coals
hot enough to melt an engine block

The trick
at least the first time
is to watch someone do it
like a spring walk in the park
bare feet soft on dew-wet grass

The no trick at all
is to follow them along that path

Author’s experience was in the Big Sur area near Monterey California
