– for Christy

Into the soil beneath my soul,
my roots reach out,
trusting they will be nourished, strengthened, nurtured…
where the Love I seek moves beyond
the barrier of my foundation
the obstruction of human family
the attachment of what’s here
seeking Life in the deep darkness…

connection with The Spirit…

my roots move courageously
surprising me with each new sprout
showing me the way to
grounding in the intensity of this journey
that is mine to be had
through tough, grimy elements
and soft, welcoming pathways
I learn to move by watching the roots of those beside me
growing strong in the simple act of seeking…

connecting with The Spirit…

…into the soil beneath my soul
beyond the foundation once a block
The Spirit brushes my heart
and moves to guide me Home.
