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.
