The Period You Are Entering Will Be a
Steadying Time For You.
Letter from Maine
Thank you for the continued Online Teachings and the Earth Balance Response sessions. You asked for our responses. So many lessons, perspectives and images come up in these sessions that it is hard to articulate. Here is one.
Following the January 10th Online teaching I found myself grappling with some old sadness I have been carrying concerning my relationship with my ex-husband. I have opened and released so much of this burden that it can be frustrating to acknowledge it again. At some point I went to my room to meditate but instead I sat down and wrote this prayer/poem.
Holding Center
I will keep the counsel fires burning
I will set camp for future times
I will sweep the earth smooth
I will prepare the seat
I will wait and hold sacred space
Let things rearrange
Let movement set us free
Let hearts beat to Mother’s heart
Let the smoke of our past rise
Let Love ingest our fears
Allow this breath of transmutation
Allow the space between our cells to expand
Allow the fire within to remind us of who we are
Allow grace to inform our actions
Allow joy to entertain gladheartedness
We are the keepers of Light
We are the ones who tend the fire that dispels fear
We are in the center of our own kivas
We are the sentinels at the gates of time
We are the grandmothers to all
