{Blessed Solstice}

{Midwinter Prayer}

God of all creation
of bare forest and low northern skies
of paths unknown and never to be taken
of bramble, sparrow and damp, dark earth


We thank you for loss, for the breaking of the dimming year
We thank you for light, even in its seeming midwinter failing
We thank you for life, for its hope and resistance
like a seed dying and living


{Amen}

[after the unraveling]

i am pouring myself into
weaving a beautiful new

{love, bless your coming.
love, bless your going.
and the sky. will kiss
each step.
heart, believe.
you will be whole. and
i will see that bright day, and
smile.}

rrx-x

it's the tick tick tick thrush thrush
i want to remember
like the familiar wash of blood
gurgling in my inner-ear

a heartbeat cadent drum the midnight train
like the time the whole world spun by
dizzy from the the half-moon of your
Smile

and the way was
Sure
like the mathematically precise lines moving side-by-side
forever forward in the dark

matins.

Thank You,
{Great Ineffable}
For each breath
For the dawn
For the pinprick stars of Light
in the heaven of night that show me
We all have our place in the Dance
Thank You,
For today
For Each Moment
In this body
Every cell
Every unseen place
Is thoroughly known to You
I do not Fear
There is not a physician
Who can begin to comprehend
All You have made
And You have made me
And in me
You. Live.
{Live}
And move
And have Your being
And all that i am
All that i see
All that exists
Is in You
Therefore, i awake
{Awake}
And greet the sun
Mindful that
As i walk about today
All That Is,
Is in You

There is Your Great Mystery
Knit together with my bones
Pump my heart
Breathe my lungs
Sing my body
To praise You

everything, everything ...
