come what may

...sipping green tea,

I feel a rising of vibrant inspiration surge in me..
Time to dance, to move, to giggle as my hips sway,
Grooving to smooth guitar and silky vocal play..
Far too much laughter to hold inside me in the dawning of this day.

And so, swish, out the door I go —
Sandals on my feet, pushing against the pedals of my bicycle
the wind laps against my cheeks as glimpses of sunshine and I meet.

Down to the creek,
I kneel on my knees and pray,
Listening to the soft strong beat and harmonies of water rushing and insects buzzing and the leaves on the trees reminding me that I am safe,
I am here,
I am whole.
This is my home.
This Earth holds me dear.

I am ready
for this day,
come what may.
