I am often drawn inward at times of profound change
change in my own life and on this planet
Especially now, I feel the call to inhabit myself and this world in a way that is real and honest
and these words bubbled up and onto my page about this very thing
so here they are…
I share them with you, fellow citizens of this sweet spinning orb called earth
RUBIES IN THE SOIL
I’m looking for WORDS that my SOUL can rest in
I don’t want to read someone else’s call to action
I want to feel that very impulse come up and out from the dirt of me
from my own ripe soil
then my spoken word will ring true
it will carry fragrance and truth and power
and if others seek my words because of this, then I rejoice
and trust that they can and will open the door in themselves where gemstones and rubies hide.
