In response to Freedom Writers Diary -

Look to each other and take the timid step.
Reach out trembling fingers,
Create some bridges.
Become the hero you haven't seen - yet.

Can we stand hand in hand?
Creating fusion at the heart of movement?

"WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS" - and dance.

Days to tame and movements to claim.
Learn to dance in unison and communion...
Unique - graceful - safe.

Can we share spaces and places?
Building neighborhoods of hope and grace?

"WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS" - and dance.
"WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS" - and dance.

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold. What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle. In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
