Water
We are being turned in, whirled, stretched and spun into motion.
Everything is moving.
Being pulled into the descending motion of gravity.
This is the downward caress and singing of rivers on rocks of pain,
washing free the burdens.
In the cells, in the molecules, the bones and blood and sinew of the body
the water is breaking free.
Strings of moving light, waterfalls of thoughts, hopes, aspirations.
A new beginning. Watching. Listening.
Nothing stops here, there, here is the Source and now it is gone.
Here is the feeling, here is the heart.
It cascades through us. The dark and light of water.
Oh the joy is there and also the despair.
They move together in the same current.
The stream becomes the river and the river finally meets the ocean.
All is moving down into the rocks, roots and gravel, moving the bottom.
A hot yellow sun evaporates the water.
Water moves upwards and condenses.
Clouds appear and fill with the tears of rivers.
With the sorrows and hard times of humanity.
It is raining. Don't hide from the rain.

EARTH
A heartbeat to the west
In the rib cage of the earth
A heartbeat
Fashion me of clay, fashion me of alabaster
I am yours, old earth
In the slow light, in slowest light
a possibility whispers me awake
The memory runs deep
It empties into the silent depths
That hide in the dark of stone
This is where we have come from
This is where we are going
On the palms of your hands
In your bones and blood and heart
This is the map. Follow it
The geography of what you are
Emerging possibility
Where we are born and where we die
This is the map to follow
This is the map, follow it now
I am yours old earth, my first lover
you are in my bones
Rocks and roots beneath my feet
I am returning to you, I am returning
Roots grow through ancient rock
Deep into the darkness
The tree of my body grows the earth
Within me
Don't be afraid
I reach outside me to light
My branches reach inside me to light
I reach in and outside me to light
Mountains and sky
Calling, calling you to come home.
Come home to this ancient belonging
Opening to the deep heartbeat of light

Air
I breathe in, I breathe out
I breathe in, I breathe out, I breathe
I raise my arm, I follow the question
Through landscapes of air
Limitless, the question
My heart follows, everything holds together
This belonging to space
I close my eyes, there is nothing to see
There's nothing and everything, nothing and everything
Throw your arms around yourself, embrace who you are
This is who you are, what you are
Breathe through the heart of everything
I breathe in, I breathe out, I breathe in everything
Everything holding together, this belonging to space
I close my eyes, there is everything to see
Beyond the limitless space of who we are
Wild wind, I breathe wind
Wild wind, hear me, hear me, love me,
Move me, breathe me, take me
inside the edges of the world
Bring me new eyes, bring me new ears
Wild wind hear me, Wild wind move me
Wild wind breathe me, Wild wind love me
Wondering what lies beyond
Limitless, the question
The question of life, of death,
The strange unexpected mystery
I breathe in, I breathe out, I breathe in, I breathe out, I breathe

Fire
The sun will never go down
The light is breaking through
We have become spirit, We have become light
We have become spirit, We have become light
We are fire.
Begin the long journey into yourself
Begin the long journey into yourself
Ask yourself the question
Everything to give away, Everything to lose
Everything to give away, Everything to lose
Everything to give away, Everything to lose
I am not afraid
I hold it in my open palms
I am fire bound
I will not reach up, but I will reach down
I am fire bound
White fire of the stars
Orange fire of the sun
I am fire bound
How fierce if the fire burning within you?
I am fire bound
Dismembering, tearing down, destroying
Shadows merges with tears and flames
All burns and merges
Everything to burn away now
I am fire bound
The sun will never go down
The light is breaking through

SPIRIT
You must risk everything for this.
Still, wind blows from every direction
And pine boughs crack and break
Under the weight of a ten thousand glistening snowflakes
Still, you don't know what love is
We hunch together in dark caves of fear
Visited by ghosts of loss, War, famine, genocide
Good and evil cut through the heart of most things
Still, after the sorrow, flocks of red and green birds
Arrive to bring you to bright joy
They were always singing
Listen to the music of kindness
Listen how they whisper you awake
Still, we are lost and then found
Over and over and over again
And all begins right here again
You must risk everything for spirit
In the hearth of your soul
A homecoming to your true belonging
A companionship with everything
Through all the great seasons of life
It is always there
A deep well of love within
The still point in the center of your heart
The one who knows
