Holy Grail
Running scared before the wave,
global warming, drought, war.
How to allow slowing
into the breath you take,
the breath that takes you?
Mercy needs a moment
to open the door for Grace.
Until then we are gazelle,
leaping before the fire
burning the face of our world.
Some days my heart is stone-heavy,
drawing into the bowels of being
where feelings settle.
Others, I find high places
where stillness lays,
a shimmering cloth
over sunlit surfaces.
Each day I am held,
flesh and blood,
bread and wine,
holy grail of a body.

SPREAD THE MAGIC:
Yes…the up and down feeling of being alive turns us inside out. If we open to grace, it pulls us through.
Yes, yes… so important. Especially now. “If we open to grace, it pulls us through.” Thank you!
