happy Earth day

a poem, a prayer, a practice

My feet belong on this Earth.
I am here — in the world but not of it.
I come from a multitude of dimensions and directions
all to create Divine Destiny.

I think of my ancestors —
both brown and white,
both directions of forward and back.

As I think of my ancestors,
I think of how I am the ancestor
to all the lives that have come and continue to come after me,
how I get to be their example
by finally becoming mine.

I am the daughter of the moon and the stars.
I am the ancestor of healers and helpers and heroes.
I am from hands that hold the remedy
as well as the harm — hands that create magick,
hands that create such mess.

I am here to fly — freely — I have felt my wings
clipped — I have felt my wings retract
from fear of my bigness, brightness, and beauty.

I am the product of poison
used to catalyze purpose.

I knew I could handle the edges of my own suffocation and making —
I knew I would remember and reclaim my truths.

I am made on purpose with great purpose.
I am here —
eyes and heart and hands
wide, wide open.

I breathe deep — inhaling this oxygen
and life — seems like such a guarantee —
yet, I can guarantee, it is not.

It is such a gift —
the space of right where I am
intersecting with all that is awaiting.

I breathe out — fully and complete,
holding the contraction — resting in the depth
and the timing of every new cycle.

Sometimes the most honest thing we can do is return —
to the Earth beneath us,
to the breath within us,
to the truth that we each and all belong.

thank you Dear Divine Mother Earth,
for holding me
and helping me
manifest into existence
only that which I can bring
my magick
my medicine
my magnificence
thank you for your love
thank you for your support
thank you for your sanctuary
may all my magick be used for the Highest
may all my medicine by used for humanity
may all my magnificence be used for hope
for all that is,
was,
and still can be.
and so it is.
and so it’ll be.
