[Thespiritexpress] Poem tread at Mastery

[Riantee Rand]

> 
> To A Family Honored with a New Spirit
>  
> As we are entrusted with this body
> we carry it light
> and easy.
>  
> As we are made to walk upon Mother Earth
> we follow the path she opens  
> with great tenderness.
>  
> As we are chosen for the difficult task of humanity
> we revere it
> with the most sacred part of ourselves.
>  
> As we are honored with this new spirit
> we rejoice in the inevitable parting,
> that is a reunion with our soul.
>  
> As we do not know where this path leads,
> we trust ourselves to the unknown sea
> and discover new lands.
>  
> As we are not made to be perfect
> we find our shadow as a stepping-stone,
> to move through darkness into the light.
>  
> As we are not a finished product
> we walk through life and death remodeling
> and transforming ourselves.
>  
> As we are created poets, musicians, artists, creators, homemakers,
> we choose the limitless vision that will open a new way.
> All of life is a teacher.
>  
> As our feet meet the ground to feel
> the blood running through the arteries of our ancestry,
> we are grateful for gravity.
>  
> As we honor the ones who have passed away,
> we see the divine in all we encounter
> and find the medicine we bring to others.
>  
> As we look up at the sky and recover
> the perspective of the above
> we see ourselves dancing to the music of the galaxies.
>  
> Thank you for bringing a new child into this world to dance with us.
>
