Do You Have room?

Do you?

Have room?

Room in your heart?

Room in your soul?

Room in your hands?

DO you have room to do the work?

The work of love and life and charity.

Do you have room to love the miracles,

Just as they are?

Do you have room to mend the relationships

That strained through the year?

Do you have room to embrace what comes your way?

Do you have courage to release all that is unnecessary

To make the room you need

To transform and begin again.

Leading to Now

With the universe coursing through your veins
you came to life

The earth holding and caressing
People, family, community
loving you into to wholeness

All preparing you for now

Every step taken, every lesson learned, every song sung, every tear shed, every joy expressed
gives the shape of inspiration 
provides the tools for action

The universe is open dear friend,
in need of love
in need of care
in need of you

Take courage and raise your voice, your hands, your eyes, your fists
know that the earth longs to hold you
   your friends long to love you
  the spirit longs to guide you

Calling into Trust

Standing in my unsure self;
my broken places

You stretch out your heart;
your broken places

Together we mend the pieces;
unsure hearts; 
calling into trust

Distorted-In process

How many layers must I uncover
until I find you?
An Archeologist, digging through the remains
of years long past.
Knowing a truth that can not be denied;
a faithfulness that can not be surpassed.
Seeing how your love has been mangled and abused;

Spiral

With intention and breath,
not realizing the fullness,
the potential,
I prepared

With enthusiasm and strength,
not feeling the limits,
the pain,
I became

With reservation and thought,
not knowing the way,
the uncertainty,
I proceed
