In preparation for a women’s leadership retreat in Cambridge, Minnesota on May long weekend this year, the Great Spirit gifted me these words:
Dancing
We come full circle again
Spiralling
In the constancy of change.
Drumming softly
A rippling song pulses
Deep in the centre,
Singing
As the compassionate warrior
Wrestles with
The shadow
A familiar companion
On the journey.
Pausing
Resting a moment
In the quiet.
A stillness settles
Calming
The body, the mind, the spirit
In the presence of Mother Earth
Nesting.
Her heartbeat drums.
As children listen to the song
The sand shifts
Letting go.
Releasing
Verganklikheid.
We can only be human together
Ubuntu.
As we come together
All of us
Children of the Rainbow.
Finding self in the other
Kapwa.
Me & We
Dancing.
Thank you
Hy! Hy!
