I live a life
- where I can get up in the morning and work and play and be responsible and responsive to others and go to bed at night;
- where it is a joy to do my chores;
- where I can express my talents and find satisfaction, recognition, recompense;
- where creativity and artistic expression are expected;
- where I can be a part of a community and give deeply of myself without feeling easily spent;
- where I can fall in love with a fellow and see our union be celebrated;
- where I can create and maintain a spiritual family;
- where I can commune with nature more;
- where the smell of pine trees fills the air;
- where there is a lake and a river nearby, and mountains;
- where nature supplies for the community abundantly;
- where people are not afraid of anything, least of all being wrong or asking questions;
- where the people eat healthfully and addictions are treated with gentleness and kindness;
- where the children can teach and the adults can relearn their true lessons;
- where holidays are a communal affair and Gaia and the Sun are constantly invited and present, no matter what other deities are worshipped;
- where it feels like it’s Christmas every day because gratitude is plentiful;
- where forgiveness flows easy when mistakes weave their way into the social fabric;
- where the community creates a space for individual and collective shadows to be brought into the light where they may be heard and therefore healed;
- where I can learn Portuguese or Czech or Linear B if I want to and others will take an interest;
- where everyone takes what they can from civilization and leaves the rest;
- where nothing, not even business, interferes with the civic bottom line.
So Be It, Blesséd Be
