Life is our Altar

eyes open
kiss myself
thank the life for living in me
around me
with me

thank the sun
the stone people
the standing ones
water mother
earth breath
kinfolk
we move
hug
open in each other
dance
sing
juice
drink
cut pick
pluck
cook
eat

bathe in the love we gardens grow

dance through the streets singing in our families eyes
pollinate hi vibes
gather and harvest the sweet honey
make a honey comb hive of the galaxy

in drum beat
in swirling revelatory stillness
in surprise glimpses of our hearts and souls
in justice returned
true power remembered
in listening to falling leaves and trickling water and crashing waves and devouring fires

we remember our family together
we tell new stories
sing new songs
dance old dances in new bodies
and catch the mirror behind the subject in the mirror

we find each other
we dream each other up
and up and up and up
until there is no up and down
no side to side
not even side by side
only one
won
simply being
as an act of victory

life is our altar
and in each miraculous act of creativity we place our love upon her

  1. wooooooo!
    altar-decer. wild on that yesterday-sunset.
    altar sets for the night and we take it inside.
    to integrate like animals in our den,
    lick at our wounds and laugh at our egos.
    honoring that they have their roles as teachers.
    we light the candle to shine into our hearts.
    the music comes through.
    we are the dance.
