A Mother's Reminder

Parting the Red Sea's not so hard

You just gotta keep moving forward like Moses

And it doesn't matter if you march, dance, stagger, crawl, or run...

Hell, stumble and roll if you have to

Just always keep moving forward

Smell that

Open your mouth and taste it

You know what that is? It's the Winds of Change

Don't you ever forget that smell, that taste

Remember it, and when it comes you go with it

Keep moving forward

Elemental

Singing my Soul to the ocean

Slowing down
Slowing down
Slowing down

Sinking
Sinking
Sinking 

Into the Day
Into the Gift
Into the Promise

Open myself to the sky
Merge my breath with the winds
Offer up my shoulders to the Sun for a warm kiss

Loosening

Letting the weightiness of unanswered questions take flight on the wings of the seagull

Loosening my grip
Opening up my hands

Sinking
Sinking
Sinking

My flesh and my bones into the sand of my earthiness
Ooooh this beautiful, soft dance of giving and receiving

Letting salt water's rise and fall, cleanse and  reveal the treasure
Of a heart vulnerable but willing

To forgive
To love
To be Joy filled
