In the Secret Place

In the darkness, in the secret
You are most present
Most alive

We feel Your breath
Your Four Winds renewing every tattered place
In the silence of darkness, Your Voice echoes

In the secret place we hear the Sound
The Sound of valley-ed bones given breath
In darkness is the ground made ripe for life
In secret is the greatness of Your move known

So we welcome you dark
We welcome you silence
We seek you O secret place
For in the secret place:
we are made new

*********************************************************************************

The cells move into formation in the secret place
In the swallows of darkness, life springs up
It finds a way in the secret place
Cells turn to tissue, tissue into tendons, tendons to muscle, muscle into bone
Bone into skin, skin into breath, breath into
Spirit

N., you were given to me in this secret place. Your spirit birthed first. And soon you will be formed in the secret place. Soon, the world will know this:

In the secret place, the world is changed, one treasure at a time.
