Recipe for Peace
Calm breaths.
Ease.
Refuge sought.
Refuge granted.
The way a sheltering tree protects.
Give what is within you to give each day.
Reach for the joy bubbling beneath the surface,
Like a waterfall, invite others to be cleansed under the great waters within you.
Let joy spill.
Let abundance pour.
Let right-thinking, right-seeing flood our paths,
guiding us in all ways true.
Let forgiveness,
Let understanding …
Let a comforting heart enlarge and hold even the greatest of concerns.
Let us be for one another sunlight.
Let us chase the shadow realm away.
Let us see the brilliance hidden, now emerging, now awakening.
Let us bath ourselves in light alone.
There are no longer caves or walls of separation.
There are no longer closets with dark corners.
There are no longer beds with imaginary or real monsters hiding beneath.
There is only our reaching into one another.
There is only community emerging,
one touch,
one story,
one authentic share at a time.
Be the touch.
Be the story.
Be the share.
Hold forth the hidden greater self of your neighbor
which you have been guarding as a sacred trust.
And bring us home, deliciously home, to one another.
