Rain of the Ancestors

Rain of the Ancestors

flows in my veins

connecting me to the stars below

and the oceans above


Intertwined

and intermixed


Blood of the Descendants

flows through the seas

connecting them to the Ancestors before 

and to Kin who come after


Held

and holding


Exchanging who we are

for who we were

for who we will be


Learning from the past

Sending lessons to the future


Standing here

Now


Allowing myself to be a nexus

       a gathering point 

                           a conduit


Transforming

from then

through now

to future points beyond my sight


Reservoir

and Release

Creation

The Space You Hold
Contains more than just you.

The space you hold
Encompasses width, height, death, birth.

The space you hold reaches to the end of the galaxy,
The edge of the Universe,
The innermost reaches of the soul.

The space you hold
Brings light to darkness,
A flow of equilibrium,
A quantum sense to the macro,
A macro view to the quantum.

The space you hold
Flies dragons to the moon,
Sees beyond the veil,
Sings up the rising sun,
Dances in the north wind,
Howls with the coyotes,
Kisses rainbows,
Tastes snow-capped mountains,
Runs across oceans,
Swims in unknown stars,
Holds a newborn baby with the gentle caress of the very first snowflake.

The space you hold
Is the space I reside in.

The space you dwell in,
Is the space I hold.

Because the space I hold,
Contains more than just me.

The space I hold
Circles back to where you are.

The space I hold
Explores the depths of my being,
Reaches for the stars,
Delights in the journey.

The space I hold
Looks to the future,
Regards the past,
Stands in place,
While touching every point in time.

The space I hold
Flies beneath the sands,
Flows above the southern lights,
Wraps up in the cherry blossoms,
Plays amongst the flames,
Cries into the hollow spaces,
Breathes in the summer rains,
Spins between the tumbling notes of a golden symphony,
Listens to the breath of a butterfly.

The space I hold,
Is the space you hold,
Is the space you hold,
Is the space I hold.

I hold my space,
And enmesh with the space you hold,
And we hold space,
For all that is.
