My friends of the Spirit –
we are called to celebrate,
from different sides of the country,
from different sides of the veil

It doesn’t matter where or when
we are -.this celebration
is of the gifts we bring,
juices gathered and concentrated down
by our experience,
truth we learn at first as image,
wrought out solid through our practice

I can feel close to you –
I can recognize the flavor
of your contribution –
scent of berry, spice, and honey
laces freshest air.
We don’t need to talk to share the blessing –
I feel it on the wind that you are there.
