As we begin to proceed
In this space I’ve devised
To hold love and longing
To draw truth from lies
I ask you to pause
To notice your breath
Check in with your heart
Let go of the rest
Are you in your body?
Do you feel at ease?
Would you like to join me?
Then come let us breathe
But before we move forward;
let whatever was be,
Let whatever is go,
Let whatever may F R E E

For aren’t we just parts of a whole in our skin
Each part beckoning to both end and begin
Each part reckoning with whatever has been
Held in the bones, in the joints, in the skin
When the truth lies within
We must only begin

For we already have all we need

Our becoming has been guaranteed
It is written in roots and in seeds
Take a breath, step by step we’ll proceed
In our depths we can find what we seek

In a world that asks us to live in the shallow this is a space of the Deep
Because if love has taught me anything it’s that while somethings are ours to keep
Others are ours to r e l e a s e
Others are ours to let be

Take a moment now to locate your power
for that is something that I do not desire
Together on ground in Spirit we gather
to notice our roots and to tend to our fires
Before we climb higher
Let us look around
Our hearts are a choir
Our truths are a sound
And in presence of mind
may we find ourselves Found

And may Life itself bless what we find
May our Love bless all of Life in-kind
