Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 64:

Another busy day, but I found some time to make a few hearts and flowers for Pride.

At the beginning of this year, I pulled a random Star Word out of the basket at church: Music. At that point, I think I had already been hearing some of the Singing Resistance songs on the internet, but had no idea that they would be spreading everywhere, that I would have the opportunity to join with other folks to teach them here in my area. I am grateful to be able to participate in bringing the music to the resistance. This afternoon 40 people gathered at Dover UCC to sing together and to talk about how to support our neighbors.

What Will It Take?
by Beth Weaver-Kreider

What will it take for you to love
the spark of Holiness inside you?
What will you risk to follow heaven’s bird
when she opens in your heart her indigo wings?
What will you answer when the Holy Ghost
begins her sparkling and velvety questions?
Will you cower in fear, or tip your ears forward
in joyful anticipation when you hear the howl
of the wild creatures calling your name?

Will you fall down on your knees in gratitude,
in joy, in awe, in worship
when you meet the spirit for whom
only you can be the dwelling place?
Will you tend this temple,
will you raise an altar,
will you offer the best of everything you have?
Will you love the immortal being
lodged within your mortal body,
and love also the body it lives in?
