Village in My Heart - (Dedicated to the struggling communities trying to find their way to safety,love, peace, and
forgiveness. 8/26/04)
I've wandered enough
to know what is true
and false in my body.
I've seen creation
unfold inside my body
whether feeling a new consciousness
or sensation never felt before.
I've witnessed spirit
reveal unknown barriers
in confused spaces of body and emotion
then guide me gently through fears
never known to exist.
I've healed tumultuous waters
flowing just below the real surface
of my true self reshaping chaos into stillness
that offered an afterlife. Now
living in that afterlife.
I live now in celebration
of all the hearts and souls
that console me on my journey. Praying
for my healing in sacred sweats and fires
accepted my existence
as a gentle, peaceful warrior and sage
offering knowledge of places of safety and love
yielding strength and nourishment
to my heart, soul, and spirit.
I live in a village unlike no other.
Building on relationships
creating a sweetness both shared
and absorbed for the sake of
Health, Harmony, and Community as it exists and
should be lived and passed to the seven generations before me
Never to lapse in memory at any
level of existence or truth
in my heart and returning soul.
