Bones and Blood

the bones of being exists

for structure

in frame

as foundations of

living and all the ands

standing and all the ands

holding and all the ands

held up by the

essence that flows from one

to another like a circuit

pulsing and rushing

giving

or not

the whole of living

the one of breathing

two must exist

together

the knowing of being

the one of living

the other of holding

the formation of both

in the blood and bones

the bones and blood

what is on one

is in the other

both are

the being of being

one not without the other

the other without the one

neither without life

the be of being

in the blood and bones

Mama Taye's Elder's Prayer - Offering Nine Hear the crisp crackle of the wind in threes. Feel the breeze brush past the chilled cheek. Touch the gloved hand and find a moment to inhale. Then exhale. Settle into the space of calm before the storm. Rest there a moment with the cloud of witnesses blowing heaven's kisses. Inhale. These are times unlike times before and just like times before so let we who are awake remain on watch, on vigil, on task so that all may be awake and all may be free. Let us continue the quest for justice for without it, there is a requirement that peace be disturbed.

Let those whose time is past and who squandered their opportunity, step back and realize that all they need to do now is provide assistance, support, and
