Fire kvinder, der har inspireret mig

Digtere bliver ikke kun inspireret af digtere eller skønlitterære forfattere. Nogle af mine vigtigste inspirationskilder har været faglitterære forfattere, der skriver om deres arbejde inden for helt andre områder.
Psykoterapeut Belleruth Naparstek var i 1995 med sin bog "Staying well with guided imagery" igangsættende for min interesse for visualisering. Hendes bog var den første seriøse (og ikke kun new age begejstrede) bog jeg læste om emnet.
Og i 1996 havde jeg fundet frem til en af de mest spændende forfattere af krystalbøger: krystalhealer Katrina Raphaell. Hun er grundlægger af "The Crystal Academy", og hendes sprog og beskrivelser i "The crystal trilogy" er i sig selv en slags poesi.
Den formidable energimedicin-kvinde Donna Eden gjorde med bogen "Energy medicine for women" (2008) et dybt indtryk på mig. Hun har en kompromisløs tro på, at mennesker kan tage vare på deres egen sundhed.
Den svenske designer Annika Thomas er en af pionererne inden for begrebet holistisk mode. Hendes bog fra 1989 (på dansk 1990: "Tøj og personlighed") inddrager psykologiske og spirituelle faktorer i valget af tøjsnit og farver. Hendes blog "Wholethreads" udforskede modens og mytologiens kvindebilleder.Som gæste-blogger på "Docakilah" i 2012 skrev hun det personlige budskab "The world needs you to follow your inspiration".

guardian angel

a grey curtain of mist
has fallen on the highway
but anyway
you're raising a red heart
standing it on its pointed foot

it's for the children
so they'll know they're protected
your eager heart following
time travelling
to their teens

then you go to your own place of mind
you say hello to your young self
relaxing in a sky wrap-around
periwinkle blue
the sea is your jeans

sleeping beauty

sad
there's not much light
is this you
you've lost track
of your inner side

snow
solace
at least it's white
you're sinking
into the red berries
watching

a ring of gold
is buried in the snow
you're still here
but still

a living shell
covering a treasure
you

alive
so happy in your red sweater
dreaming passion
dreaming laughter

protect
your sleeping self
forget
impatience
enjoy
hibernation

sun face

you feel so blue
so cold and sad among your classmates
though you're dressed like a summer girl
you love sun colours

behind your eyes
are faraway blue mountains
you don't know why
but let yourself fall
into a reverie

in the blue mountains
you're a flowery being
a trusting marigold
reaching out to cherish
like the many-armed ancient Egyptian
sun with small golden hands

gold bangles tinkling
yellow petal skirt billowing
you raise your sun face
to the smiling centre of life

coming back you realize
to reclaim your radiance
you should honour your inner habitat
by wearing blue jeans or a blue
hair bandeau in remembrance

telepathic green blue jeans

sprinting through
the world's thought jungle
you're exchanging views
with a blackbird singing
a little black wing safe
inside your open mind

it's your world connection
your imagination
dancing long-legged
green-legged
on the water of collective
consciousness

you can see
the bird's eye view
sprinting across the water
on your sea legs
slim-fit
boot-cut
heart-wearing
you can hear the grass grow

listen
sings the blackbird
why do humans need so much
world space
when you've got
heart room
