And Spirit Exudes From Me

Posted on November 30th, 2005 by Shewolf

I have searched river, lake & prairie.
I have unearthed mountain, desert, pine.
I have examined faces carved in stone
For a reflection common to mine.
For this, I drew a thousand names,
Wore a mask of thousand faces
Invited in the lost and lonely
To my life and sacred places.
Until it came, & I understood,
The simple fact, this journey
Is the walk from childhood
To a renewed and more spiritual me.
I am never alone,
For guardians guide my way,
Night spirits teach through dreams
And spirits whisper through my day.
I am the child, the woman,
I am spirit, all in one, am I.
I cannot be abandoned
For I am mother, earth & sky.
Born of spirit, spirit made,
Spirit grown & spirit be,
Spirit resides, here, within
And spirit exudes from me.

- Shewolf: As in my blog about Christmas earlier, an Elder says that we are to make everyday Christmas. It would be something, wouldn’t it?
- Erin: Oh how I wish that Christmas would never end. It is such a fun time… brings out the best in most people. I will miss it.
- Shewolf: How far the lack of fear can take us. If we approach something out of fear….we are fearful not loving. Yes, the world is an absolute mess it is in because of our FEAR and all its tentacles. Ilsiten to the news as little as possible, but I heard, last night, how there is no...
- Carol Knepper: You are so right. Fear is not the motivator we need, nor is God a monster. To live in fear is to become ill in body, mind, and spirit, for one cannot live in fear on a daily basis without anger and resentment, which cannot of course be expressed to the one or One who is feared. All...

- Rob Ganson: On Carol’s “White Wisps” Somehow, I’m transported, by these ghosts, to a bent sort of time where the needed de-evolution seems possible. In stanza two, we are reminded that that which feeds the body can, and must, feed the spirit. That even meat, especially...
- Shewolf: I send great floods of love to her to help her sustain. It is all I can do. I am, in a way, grateful not to be too close, by mileage, because I know she is like me, and needs to work it out on her own. I watch her do it. She was heartbroken and then, day by day, got to that deep place of...
- cordieb: It hurts so much when those we love hurt; especially when we know there is nothing we can do to really take away the pain instantly. If you can keep her as spiritually grounded as you have been able to do for us so often; she will be just fine. Sending out healing vibes to your daughter...
- Shewolf: The file was somehow corrupted. Let me see if I can dig it out and I will redo it and re-post it.
