Ceremony

Drink deeply. Now begins your sacred journey.
The space between thoughts is beckoning.
Truth awaits those who wait patiently.
The spirit craves its reckoning.

Close your eyes. Hear the song of your soul.
You lie at the beginning of a circle.
Every drop on the tides of time
Is this moment of everpresent sublime.

All around you is love and beauty.
You are the sum of all your beginnings.
All within you is joy and creativity.
You are the end of all your exploring.

Forgive others that you may forgive yourself.
Find the words to utter before you die.
Help others and ask for help.
Cry the tears you need to cry.

Love your father; embrace your mother.
Forgive them for stumbling in the dark.
Honor their reflection when you look in the mirror
Unlock the mysteries of your heart.

Be grateful for your life. For all life.
Sing and dance. Praise. Hold hands.
You are divine. Your soul is ripe.
Love yourself. Love others. Mend.
