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.
