Stop.
Situate
Receive.
Consolidate
Circulate
Elevate
Breathe.
Give and take
Love and hate
Radiate
Open.
Contemplate
Consecrate
Evaporate
Wait.
Appreciate
the condensate
the distillate
so delicate
The elixir is abundant here
Elixir is abundant here
Elixir abundant here

Prayer for Ingrid
Thank you sun
Thank you earth
Thank you universe
For creating Ingrid
That she could experience your wonders
So sweet, so bright
Such light!
Flower in the summertime
Return to root
Till the new spring
Become the flame
The rain
The wind
Such light, so bright
So sweet
Thank you
For being
Ingrid

That she could experience your wonders
So sweet, so bright

Flower in the summertime
Return to root
Till the new spring

So sweet
Thank you

Incarnation
Incarnation
Here we are
on the cross of space and time
Contemplating the miracle
This precious pause
Saviour
Heaven
Future lives
Enlightenment, even
Comforting speculations
In the face of a single undeniable fact:
Here we are.
Wanting to be off the hook
Wanting to be somewhere else
Easier to dream of a sunnier place
Than to enjoy the rainy here and now
Meat-bodies run amok
In this once-great land
Run by corporations for the corporations
Work work
Buy buy
We are the herds
We follow the songs
of an invisible shepherd
who seduces us with things we want
And we don't even notice
The browning of the pines
The dying of the squid
Everything surreal, unreal
When viewed on a tiny screen
When I go
I will be grateful for those I have loved
And who have loved me
And that will be enough.
Incarnation
Here we are
Let's make the best of it
Merry Christmas 2012 Happy New Year 2013!

Forty
The river is strong from the long rain
Maybe I'm still strong too, despite the moaning and groaning.

What Is Life?
What is life?
Seeking the shade when you are hot,
Moving closer to the fire when you are cold.
Eating when you are hungry,
Drinking when you are thirsty.
Making love when the passions stir,
Raising children,
Planting a garden.
Loving, laughing,
Fighting, crying.
Thinking,
Wondering.
Sleeping and waking,
Living and dying.
More than this I cannot say.

(approx. 1500 BCE)
