I was trying to copy down some of the liturgy resources from church into a dropbox and as I always do when I work with liturgy resources I felt a need to make my own. I am thinking of doing my blog a bit differently for a time and this might be a good transition to it. It feels like a change I need and I will try it out and if it isn’t right will return to what I have been doing. My intention here was to use some humans apart from “mother” and “father” and also get away from the anthropomorphism to show it’s a metaphor not a literal “truth”. But still to honour the human experience of the world because we are humans and life and body are good things.
Author of the ongoing story:
history, herstory, earthstory, lovestory;
Midwife of our better selves
taking us forth from the earth out mother
and placing us in her arms;
Living water running through our veins,
Spirit: wild wind of change, exhaled breath,
kiss of life;
Fire the yearning in our spirits for liberation,
the passion for justice and to be in beauty;
Word and Wisdom,
Way, truth and life;
we reach for you
hold us.
Amen.
