The spinal cable’s coil is in the belly (hara).
During our lifetime, it sometimes activates and then seizes up.
Hunched shoulders,
Pelvis loses its tilt axis
Dorsolateral scoliosis becomes pronounced,
The cable coils thus to protect the entire structure against the blows of the world,
or to resign, to gently abdicate, as we tip over into fatigue without realizing it,
As we die inadvertently, from having exhaled too long.
Sitting then offers the time for awareness, the one that will dispel inadvertence and inner surrender,
The one that illuminates the points of the years,
Slowly accumulated on the scale of body and mind,
Then, the shoulders blossom and the pelvis tilts.
The welcome takes place again, the spinal cable loosens and the meditator,
with all sails out, thus resumes the Great Crossing.
