An Ancient Lineage Yet Alive in Your Heart

There is an ancient tradition
yet alive in the lineage
of every human on the planet
of taking one’s body and mind and soul
and going into the mountains or the deep forest
or into the desert or to the river
or to the mesa top or into the badlands
so that one can re-member what it is that matters
and so can make whole and holy again
that which already and always and only is
but is too easily forgotten in the daily rush—
the Spirit of Life living within.

So go there yourself
take your body mind and soul
and re-member too
it is your heart
that knows this way home.
