Stone

old friend and brother  

avuncular messenger

from the time of creation  

my heart leans into your flinty silence  

and feels the still-warm tracings

...of our God.   

My Heart

listens to the Creation Songs

     of people

     and plants

     and non-living things

confirming in them

what it knows of itself

...that we are One, Holy, and Free.

Water

changeling sister clothed in mist

     and snow

    and ice

my heart enters your being and sees

...The Presence reflected in your soul.
