Bodypsalm for Christmas
Be dressed in the presence
of Christ within you
however you believe
or articulate your place on earth
and connection to the numinous
may this season of craziness
where everything one values
is turned upside down –
return to what matters
R E T R E A T
into the space
of incarnation
where word became flesh
and dwelt among you
and in you
the light within you
is greater than any shadow
even though you and I as babes
were formed in the dark of the womb
we are born into light
May this season
uncover tiny spaces
to be clothed once again
in the wider knowing
you shine from the inside out
and are held from the inside out
in emptying is fullness
and small gestures of kindness
and your presence
is Christmas gone wild
here is the fierce beauty
romancing you
to peace.
This is beautiful. You need to publish a book of these body psalms. Ask Daniela if she has any ideas.
Thank you for your fierce beauty and divine light. Celste- an angel in the snowy Christmas sky.
