Waking Up

I had a dream in Krakow.
I was sharing acupressure points
with a Zen meditation group.
as we travelled to Auschwitz.
They were the points for grief.
They help us breathe into grief,
rather than use our muscles
to stop its flow.
Allowing grief is a big assignment,
especially in Poland, but
allow it we must if we are ever to
feel the pain so many endured.
Feeling the pain of others has aname.  Some call it compassion.
