please don’t be alone, especially now

blessed sacred waters
waters of the wombs of the women
waters of the seeds of the men
waters of generations of beautiful children
singing
laughing
playing
dancing
please may it be
that tomorrow when we wake up
the fires burning upon the earth
will be fires of prayer
calling the people to tend them with love
to sit in circles
and listen
like we once did
when we received our news from the sacred fire.
from our home in the desert
we can see the fires in the sky
we can hear the explosions
and we can’t help but think
of our brothers and sisters
who happened to have been born on the wrong side of the line
where there are no warning sirens
no shelters
where there has been no break from these fires of destruction
for nearly two years.
what will it look like
when the fires in Gaza
the fires in Israel
the fires in Iran
the fires on all points upon the earth
will be tended with love
by circles of people
who gathered around
the magic
of
Grandfather Fire.
on this summer solstice
I give thanks for my life
I give thanks for my relations
for the ones who embrace me when I am afraid
for the ones who have gone to the stars
and the ones here on the earth.
I give thanks for the gorgeous tree outside of our house
the sacred shelter for our neighborhood
where we have gathered every night for the past week
to share a meal
or a story
and breathe
resting in the comfort that togetherness brings.
Togetherness.
Community.
the most powerful protection
in uneasy times.
when we are surrounded with love
we feel safe.
asking that we all find ourselves surrounded by love.
