Today I Lift Up

Today I lift up and give thanks for the element Fire

Of Fire of sun and of Gaia`s core

Silently and Steadily

Bringing forth the change of Season

Of Fire of cellular burning brightly

Silently and Steadily

Birthing, dying, and regenerating

Renewing life daily in this body of mine

And in the bodies of my loved ones

Of Fire that burns in Touch and Hugs and Kisses

Silently and Steadily

Unifying me with the vulnerability of my humanness

Connection

Of Fire that radiates within my imagination

Silently and Steadily

Igniting `passion and activity`

Creation

Of Fire in the furnace and oven

Silently and Steadily

Enveloping me in a cocoon

A safe place

A place to `be broken and to heal`

A place to `break bread and share stories`

A place to `learn and grow,`

A place to `forgive and be forgiven`
A place to relearn what to love truly means

A place to just be.
