I recently attended a spiritual retreat. I rarely have time for these sorts of things, so it was a precious experience to hear many different speakers share their spiritual practice, and, to bask in their knowledge and expand my own practices. If you will be so kind as to indulge me, I thought I’d do my best to try and share some of their wisdom in verse.
Let all of what you share be true.
Alignment. When stressed or confused,
go to the root.
Help is available to you.
When I was little, I learned to believe,
but I had to climb the staircase of the body:
a different chakra, a different frequency.
Pause to receive.
We barely survive on animal instincts.
A womb is a galaxy, planets exploding,
each of us a sun capsizing.
Hope is a nebulous family.
We are part of a yolk
binding us together to
do the extraordinary.
Love has forgotten no one.
Rejoice in fluidity. Wed truth.
Carry its liquid marrow in your bones,
a sacred oath.
A fountain-like circle of trust.
For water does not fear smoke,
and a trickle is all that we need
to let others know they are not alone.
