may we be
wise
 compassionate
ancestors,
standing in
sovereignty
radiating
wild mercy 
and love

once upon a time 
in a world that never was
and always
is
a wholeness
and beauty
the heart knows and
remembers

equinox threshold prayer for the world this morning:

may all beings be free from anger
may all beings be free from ill will 
may all beings be safe and protected
may all beings be healed and know wholeness 
may all beings flourish and be free
may all beings be filled with loving kindness
may all beings dwell in peace

underneath the turbulence
somehow
mysteriously
easy to miss
there is peacefulness

fluttering monarch 
gracing the soft fuzzy edge 
of a summer bloom

gleaming
wondrous
summer
solstice

Earth Day Gatha

breathing in sky
breathing out light
breathing in sun
breathing out warmth 
breathing in clouds
breathing out rain
breathing in love
breathing out compassion—
i bow to the ground
