daily spirituality post

We haven't had one of these in a while.  But I was listening to some music this afternoon and got inspired.

Across a thousand nations
And forty-thousand years
The teachers and the healers
We are the Craft of the Wise
The Old World and the New World
Remember the nature people
We who were persecuted
And we shall rise again
And we dance round, hand in hand
We are at one with the tides of the land
We are wild and we are free
We are wild and we are free
But the tide is ever changing
The Wheel ever spinning round

From “Craft of the Wise" by Inkubus Sukkubus (if you aren’t familiar with their music, it’s fantastic, look them up and you can listen online)

 I've been missing this post.

You're free to post it if someone else doesn't.

Shabbat begins tonight, and I won't be able to make it to services, so I'm a little bummed. I could use some spiritual rejuvenation. But instead, I will settle for a clean garage and a NSA Klondike bar.

A reminder that the Earth is forgiving, even if we aren't, and that we should take a moment to quit destroying her and instead be grateful for her sustenance.

"Each of you a bordered country,
Delicate and strangely made proud,
Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.

Your armed struggles for profit
Have left collars of waste upon
My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.

Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
If you will study war no more. Come,

Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
The Creator gave to me when I and the
Tree and the stone were one.

Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
Brow and when you yet knew you still
Knew nothing.

The River sings and sings on."

--Maya Angelou
