Soul

She who reconciles the ill-matched threads
of her life, and weaves them gratefully
into a single cloth —
it's she who drives the loudmouths from the hall
and clears it for a different celebration
where the one guest is you.
In the softness she receives.

You are the partner of her loneliness.
the unspeakable center of her monologues.
With each disclosure you encompass more
and she stretches beyond what limits her,
to hold you.

— Rainer Maria Rilke. She who reconciles the ill-matched threads. Translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy, Rilke's Book of Hours, Riverhead Books, 2005.

We are Earth, Earth is us. All interconnected in the Web of Life.
"Climate change is not ‘a problem’ waiting for ‘a solution’. It is an environmental, cultural and political phenomenon which is re-shaping the way we think about ourselves, our societies and humanity’s place on Earth."

“Something ancient in us bends us toward the origins of the whole thing. We either drown in the splits and confusions of our lives, or we surrender to something greater than ourselves. The water of our deepest troubles is also the water of our own solution. In surrender, we descend down to the bottom of it and back to the beginning of it; down into what is divided in order to get back to the wholeness before the split. Healing, health, wealth, wholeness: all hail from the same roots. To heal is to make whole again; wholeness is what all healing seeks and what alone can truly unify our spirit."
- Michael Meade, "The Genius Myth"

Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing, there is a green field.
I'll meet you there.
When you lie down in that grass, life is
too full to talk about"

Prayer for an Invitation
I pray for you, world
to come and find me,
to see me and recognize me
and beckon me out,
to call me
even when I lose
the ability to call on
you who have searched
so long for me.

I pray to understand
the stranger inside me
who will emerge in the end
to take your gift.

I pray for the world
to find me
in its own wise way.

I pray to be wanted
and needed
by those I have
learned to love
and those
I must learn to love.

I pray to be wanted
and needed
by those I cannot
recognize
in my self-imposed
aloneness.

And
I pray to be wanted
and needed
by those
I wish to be wanted by.

But I acknowledge
the power of your beautiful
disguise, and I ask
for the patient heart
of all things
to understand
the uncertain, abiding
and intimate invitation
in my fear of leaving,
in my fear of arriving,
in my fear of taking your hand
to follow
that hidden, difficult
and forever beckoning way.
