Sacred Water

...thoughts about the ocean ...

I love to be reminded about the beauty and benevolence of nature all around us, of the loving presence of the spirit of water, the abundant grace of the earth. These words borrowed from Jana Runnalls speak to our inter-relatedness to water ...

Born of water
healing,
powerful,
cleansing,
changing,
I AM

Ocean

She sits and gazes upon me
My silent comforter
My sumptuous friend

She wraps her arms around me
Arms a big as the sky
And she nestles me in her bosom
Soothes my ruptured soul

Her waves wash over me
Batter me a bit, to and fro
Gently shaking from my shoulders
burdens … that belong to her
She uses them to move her tides,
the ebb and flow, waves tripping
over one another on their way to shore.

The whoosh of the wind fills my ears
I am quieted by her lullaby
Somewhere between earth and sky
a seagull’s cry pierces the sun’s rays
I would not know this place
without such trusted friends

 

Visions fill my senses
… of barefoot girls
… and cotton dresses
Of wheat-like grass billowing to the rhythm of her breath
Of shiny colored glass worn smooth
by her caressing

Tiredness ascends from my body
My awareness is of having been relieved

Ocean, how do you know me?

She laughs at me
A gentle, loving laugh
It is I who have given you life, my child
Your single teardrop is to me
As one breath is to your Spirit
All of this I give to you
So that you may live and grow

These gifts are yours, my child, She whispers
I am in you
You are of me
You will not forget
Nor ever be forgotten
