Woman of Four Voices - JustRob - Rob Ganson

Posted on June 6th, 2007 by Shewolf

Her wordsongs lifted me
    when my spirit
        fell

into the abyss of self and
    healed my ego with
        psalms from
            four directions

She knows the drum that knows
    the name for tides, for
        the universal uterus, for
            earth

Her quill offers hope, her
    gift of quill from a slow
         brother, scales of
             wet sister
         paint flowers

She knows the way to me

Four directions know her feet
Four winds know her song

Louis knows her heart
    and her woman-drum
         knows the rivers

She sang me once as
    I would be, forgiving
        what I am, like

the wind forgives
    the wolf

- 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...

- johnny: touRXV Thanks for good post
- 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.
