Reaching into the cosmos
It is a two-way communication.
I am open and receptively aligned
So I receive with breath, with insight

The inspiring words come to me and
I am thankful

Allow my pen and my voice to be 
that conduit 
that bridge of connection.

There is power here 
and there is safety

Breath, mind and heart aligned to receive: 
The gift of words 
The gift of inspiration 
what connects us to share our story

We gather around that fire 
our tribe of elders and youth, 
parents and mending bones

Broken hearts can be healed 
with a heartfelt story
The seeker in me sees the seeker in you

And in this moment we are one
No longer separated by boundary, 
flesh and bone

Hearts and minds one 
with bated breath we see 
and believe that we can be free 

to soar, to sing, to create, 
to love and to grieve 
all parts are welcomed here

in our circle by the fire 
Join me 
there is a seat waiting

just for you

you are seen and heard, 
held and loved, 
just by being you

what a marvelous thing you are
to be just one of you in all eternity
your eyes, your hair

perhaps inherited by someone 
you never met
- the expression that makes you you -

one of a kind
smile and believe
You are free to be
