Sometimes We are Called

Sometimes We are Called

sometimes we are called
and we know when to accept
it’s not really a choice
we’ve been prepared and are adept

in part it is a mystery
perhaps excitement too
yet the calling is for service
what we all came here to do

was this all pre-planned
out of space and out of time
was this new challenge a gift
that came all silver-lined?

what qualities do we bring
to that place we’ve been called to?
what role is waiting there
for us to expand into and do?

abound with blessings
as we gathered to leave
heeding the call
for the new to inter-weave

St. Julian of Norwich

St. Julian of Norwich

how can we speak our prayer?
begin in the emptiness
then explore layer upon layer

the emptiness is a space to fill
being in silence, ever so still
we are greeted by the gift of our free-will

and from this place we can begin
to enter into prayer and slowly let in
the grace and beauty of a heaven that’s here
co-creating with God’s love to steer
our course, our journey beyond all fear
to a place of peace, then to speak and hear
and sing with joy that the gift of prayer
ignites our role as a creative player
in what’s being built, layer upon layer
a pearl of love – we cannot weigh her
for the expansion is continuous
the growth immense
the power of love overpowering each fence
uniting neighbours, lightening the dense
growing and sowing a new way to live
wanting to be love and simply give
with kindness and gentleness
and gratitude too
every prayer from me is a prayer for you
a recipe that can be improved, that is the truth
by adding more love, it is fail proof

Honour the Way

Honour the Way

honour the way
we bring the present
back from the future

know we can travel
to the future and back
entering in dreamtime
when the tide is slack

dreaming of the future
a place to behold
full of wondrous beauty
in visions so bold

capturing the visions
bringing them back
carried with care
so they are intact

holding them, cherishing them
when they’re unwrapped
laying out the entirety
that was contained in our packs

seeing the future
is where to begin
feeling its details
with all senses tuned in

now that we’ve witnessed it
we’ll know where to start
as we bring about the changes
the old world will depart
