Torn and Transformed
Torn, we come to tend*
Coming together, we can overcome
So many illusions and myths
About our lives and those of others
Together we can heal
We can pray and speak
We can cry and sing
We can dance our ways
Through the chaos all around us
Following a mystical exploration
Designed to weave the sacred
Freedom that we share
Leaving content and words aside
For more creative moments
Without words, with silence
Fueled by the sacred spirits
All around us
We learn to pause and breathe
Instead of react
We learn to reflect before we act
We see the beauty of this experiment
In Change
The alchemical mixtures of our being
Both divine and human
We grace each other with our listening
We allow ourselves to be tended to
We share our energies, both pain and delight
With all beings in our world
As they share in the process of
Our transformational journeys
Embracing all parts of ourselves first
Then practicing radical acceptance
For what is
Within us
And outside of us
Finding peace and new comfort
For all
