Happy New Year! Awaken to the Dream of the Earth

Happy New Year dear friends and readers. Mine is off to a wonderful start and I hope yours is too.

This poem was forwarded to me by Tracy Collins, a friend from the EmbodyDance ecstatic dance community in Santa Fe and I'm passing it forward to you. Enjoy!

Awaken to the Dream of the Earth

Let us remember within us
The ancient clay,
Holding the memory of seasons,
The passion of the wind,
The fluency of water,
The warmth of fire,
The quiver-touch of the sun
And shadowed sureness of the moon.

That we may awaken,
To live to the full
The dream of the Earth
Who chose us to emerge
And incarnate its hidden night
In mind, spirit, and light.

-excerpted from John O’Donohue’s “Praise of the Earth”, To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings
