We summon the wisdom
of all that are here —
the sentient beings,
with their channels to
the flow of all things,
the moisture as it travels,
as it breathes its meditative circuit,
the rays of sun emerging
low and brilliant
in a sunset pause between the rains

We summon experience, we summon
hope, we summon new-found
discovery of what we are.
This counsel will tell us,
with the certainty of dawn,
how to bring forth the purpose
that calls us to this place.
