Last August, I felt so very grateful for opportunity and experience of joining for the community evening at the ServiceSpace retreat.  After a late-night buzz of inspiration, and ultimately landing home at 3AM, I was reminded of Viral's words: "As we ever-deepen in being, keepers of each other's highest truths."  And I wrote down this poem to all of you ...

To soul family:

last night and the interconnectedness of all of life

it feels like pansies and posies
rather, feels like that sounds
comfort of homegrown tender
nest of love

old friends not yet met
known souls together again
a melting of the then and now
time collapsing; space, as well

family reunion, longtime clans
comingling tentacles
embodying wisdom vows in
portals of light

deep bows to earth below
deep bows to up above
deep bows to you, my dear
to live this moment
here, every heartbeat a bell

Love
