Dear Luna of the Heart,
my very own Dream Wisdom,
Holy Darkness
between wake
and wake,
show me The Way.
Light the path
through the wilderness
with your glowing wand of truth.
Allow me to see
the Round Face of God
brought to me in moments,
in riddles,
in adventures abundant.
Bring to me
what I need to know, for tonight,
that food of knowledge and
deep knowing only your
Mother Eye knows.
And carry me safely
into the morning sun,
as with gratitude I wake
into your holy sunshine ways.

The Altar

Altars were known to be sacred places of sacrifice, places where blood of animals were shed for the appeasement of gods and goddesses. It was a way of evening the score and to correct wrongs. When I grew up, the alter was The Great Untouchable. I remember going up to the alter for the first time during my Catholic confirmation classes. They showed me where consecration happened, upon a holy stone underneath the simple bleach-white linen overlay. It was stunning to me that something so simple as a cloth and some words would be so powerful as to change water into wine. Stunning, then confusing, then, eventually, just plain crazy.

I didn’t believe in sin, per se; I believed in injustice based out of brokenness. I knew this because I have seen brokennness heal and justice served. The Jesus I knew had little to say about personal s...

Mother of the Tumbleweed

Holy Mother of the Tumbleweed of powerful wildebeest migration, of itchy feet, You see me as I ache to move yet resist You the same. You know my instincts, like You guide monarchs with your magnetic pull, and You urge the Ridley sea turtles to their nests on warm ocean currents. Understand my resistance to Your call-- when my fearful feet push against the mud making gaping tracks, when I choose to close up and protect myself from newness and change. Help me unfold myself to your call. Let me see the new horizon and the lessons written squarely on it. Allow me to settle my ego anxiety and trust the mystery of travel, of movement, of change, as purposeful, guiding lessons as I learn to choose fearlessness on Your safe, undulating, mysterious path.
