The Gift Offered

Creation

Jan 4

I resist surrendering to what is -
Life the way I want(ed) it to be
Causes much anguish

Creation slows

I move towards simplicity
To know truth

The gift of poetry,
Gets me out of my own way
Which is much better
Than thinking I have any answers

I relax into greater truth

Your gifts awaken something in me
My gifts awaken something in you
In our offerings we move
Together towards Wholeness

As trustees of the light
May we surrender
To what is

Our souls uplifted
Creation continues

This poem was inspired by “The Gift,”
Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property,
A book by Lewis Hyde, 1979
