Somewhere, there are people to whom we speak with passion
without having the words catch in ...our throats.
Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us,
eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us
whenever we come into our own power.
Community means strength that joins our strength
to do the work that needs to be done.
Arms to hold us when we falter.
A healing circle.
A circle of friends.
Someplace where we can be free.

Thank you for being part of my circle.
senses shared
taste: morning waking
see: a sister's heart, dreams coming alive
hear: a sister's soul
touch: this moment.
think: it is all about intention, and feeling as if ...
feel: as if ...
read: Dreaming Back my Sisters ...
I am dreaming back my sister's
Whisper-worn footfalls on the Temple steps
Skywalkers
Storm dwellers
Heavy-breasted cauldron keepers
Songweavers
Snake sisters
Darkmoon dancers
Labyrinth builders
Star bridgers
Fiery-eyed dragon-ryders
Wind seekers
Shape shifters
Corn daughters
Wolf women
Earth stewards
Gentle-handed womb sounders
Dream spinners
Flame keepers
Moon birthers
Come home sisters, come home.

ReplyDeleteSee: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Feeling: Validated, tearful, upset, happy, and needing to share.
hear: My life
think; I wish everyone could see this movie! What a beautiful story of human experience AND it's autism awareness month which means I can blog about having Asperger's syndrome more often:)
These two quotes are redemptive. I Love - "voices will celebrate with us
ReplyDeletewhenever we come into our own power."
Read: "Through our thanks, we honor all possibilities, while bringing the ones we choose to this world." Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer {wonderful book!}
hear: the stillness of night with a tiny noise coming from the fridge
see: lamp casting warm light
smell: remnants of my first incense burned
touch: the wet cuff on my sweatshirt from the bathing boy's extra big splashes
feel: hopeful, slightly tentative, calm
beautiful words...
