(On Receiving the Many Reflections of my Medicine for this 47th Birthday)
Holy Mother,
Great Mother,
Thank you for this life
Thank you for this body
Thank you for this path of remembering
What I was born to unfold
From the sinews of my soul
Thank you for these people who love me,
Messily,
Deeply,
Enthusiastically,
And for the privilege
Of loving them
I pray and ask You
To help me remember
That you always walk with me
I pray and ask You
To help me be the answer to my own prayer,
Which is also to remember that the answers are all around me,
In the faces of my beloved relations,
Human and Animal
Plant and Fungi
Stone Ones
The Mythic and the Fae
All Beings greater than me that wish me well
Beloved Ancestors
Beloved Descendents
All Life
Through All Time
I walk with an open heart
With feet grounded in Your Body
And the crown woven into the Heavens
In between I am something, nothing,
Ecstatic,
Joyful,
Humbled to be so filled and surrounded with love
Actionable, tangible, beautiful love
And so it is.
