Release "Fire Reading” by Lois E. Van Leer Roar through my soul Flame and fire and searing heat Burn all my fears to ash Now send your sparks up On the breath of the wind Up to the sun, moon and stars Snaking paths Roads for my spirit to follow Sweet, sweet release Cleansing a fragment by Coleman Barks, inspired by Jalaluddin Rumi: Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into the light. a poem by Coleman Barks, inspired by Jalaluddin Rumi: Stars burn clear All night till dawn. . Do that yourself, and a spring Will rise in the dark with water Your deepest thirst is for. Intention by unknown: One tree can start a forest, One bird can herald spring, One smile can begin a friendship, One hand can lift a soul, One star can guide a ship at sea, One word can frame the goal, One vote can change a nation, One sunbeam can light a room, One candle can wipe out darkness, One laugh can conquer gloom, One hope can raise our spirits, One touch can show you care, One voice can wake up everybody, One life can make the difference. New Beginnings “The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” - by Barbara Kingsolver, from her 2008 Commencement Address at Duke University:
