Summer Song / Solstice Prayer

Let yourself
be still today
Even move wildly
but from the quiet center
of your timeless,
miraculous being.

Know yourself
beyond, before and after
what you’ve so far known.
Let Mystery surprise you
with diverse
invitational
demands
on your
aliveness.

Open your ears,
eyes,
mouth,
womb
gut
root
heart
and
let
your
Self
receive.

Rather than do,
Feel
Rather than think,
Breath.

Let the forest
or the town
or the candle in your heart
bemuse you,
woo you,
find you.

Let the Great Dream
be dreamed through you.
