blessing the boats
(at St. Mary’s)
may the tide that is entering even now the lip of our understanding carry you out beyond the face of fear may you kiss the wind then turn from it certain that it will love your back may you open your eyes to water water waving forever and may you in your innocence sail through this to that
May you in your innocence sail through this to that. My question is do we still have our innocence? That is something to ponder. I would like to think that I still have a trusting open heart. There are still places in me that are soft and haven't hardened or powdery, just simply blown away. YOU?
ReplyDeleteInnocence isn't the only driver of kindness, outerward concern. I have no doubt I have a deep commitment to other. It defines my work. The question of innocence though is a grid one. I have seen things I would like to not have known. It has made me feel sadness and also wisdom. Nothing arrives singularly. It's what we chose to make of it. How brave are we? Love is impossible for me to turn a deaf ear to.
DeleteLove trumps all. I have learned this through this journey....I continue to love despite all. By the way....you must come to Maine to collect more images!
