A Deep Bow
To the invisible primordial
Voice who whispers
mythic wisdom of Other
who calls, engages and deepens
all else
through images, sounds, sensations,
and numinous awe:
A deep bow
I humbly offer
to Other’s abiding perspective
omnipresent,
luminescent,
awakening recesses of perception.
Within we listen closely,
to incarnate
and tend sacred stories,
to see through shadows
—diaphanous layers of Fear—
to create meaning from Chaos,
embody found treasure,
and return Love
to the soul of the World.
