Repetition is Sacred

Last night participants in the Repetition is Sacred: Practicing Seven Generations practice space gathered and our ancestors gathered too. We found our questions and our gifts. We meditated and we wrote this poem together about repetition and practice.

Rainbow Somewhere

 

“And almost every day somewhere over Anguilla if you look, you’ll see a rainbow.”

By the Repetition is Sacred Practitioners

 

And now everyday we’ll see the sun meeting the waters.

And now everyday we’ll see the sun meeting the earth.

And now everyday we’ll see the sun meeting the plants.

And now everyday we’ll see the sun meeting the living and the dead.

 

And now everyday spiders creep along and do their business.

And now everyday I know that there is a flow flowing somewhere.

And now everyday the river will carry me where I need to go.

And now everyday we attend to our mourning.

 

And now everyday we meet in the meadow, I miss you, whether or not you come back

And now everyday I will remember and celebrate my child self.

And now everyday we wash ourselves in the ocean, whether or not we are near the ocean.

And now everyday we know the power of our tears.

 

And now everyday I look upon my face with love. 

And now everyday I look upon your face with love.

And now every day we stretch endurance into thriving.

And now everyday I have compassion for myself.

 

And now everyday we generate movements.  

And now everyday we embrace our vastness

and our intimacies to replenish the wells of possibility.

And now everyday we return home.
