Planets
Do it
With stars
It’s happening all around
Us, inside of
Us, at the centre
Our home is built this way
The one we all share
Water and dirt
Stuck to fire
Birds build
This way too
Our own egg of conception
Follows its form
And we, much more intricate now
Sense the primal call
To come back
To circle
Where we see each
Other, within the sacred
Container
Gather round
The fire, spirit
Burns like a sun
And we, together here
One
In it’s warmth
Hearts open, ears
And eyes, witness of
What is, how we live
So that we may be, as always
Surrounded
By god
Tonight I’m going to my men’s circle. Sitting in circle is a practice that I believe is as old as consciousness. It is how we come together as tribe in a way where each person can be seen. I believe circle is an integral part of community. Whether it’s to hear what is in each other’s hearts, or to raise our voices together in song, the circle is the container that helps us find harmony and connection, when each voice is heard, and each heart cared for.
“How do you come together in circle with others?” is the question for 12 days journal #296
