Ash Wednesday Walk into Radical Simplicity

Gray is the color of this day on the path of emptiness

Adventurous the mood on the rooftop of boundlessness

As i move toward a portal to the below,

a child follows me, a child i don’t know.

~

Where is his Mother? Why isn’t he in tow?

His spirit is so open desiring to explore the great below.

Coming together, we step down the spiral staircase,

hearts linked as one now for whatever we face.

~

We come to a turning point, which way to go,

which of the many paths will keep us in flow?

Breathe in the stillness, creation will follow.

Breathe in the stillness, heart whispers will know.

~

Grandmother Beloved, great heart of compassion

embracing us all in the waters of love

weaving a web for all our relations

flowing in beauty wherever we go.
