Storybook Circling at the Councils of all Beings
In this circle
wide in species
and sparkling imaginings
In this circle of story-sharing
about sharing stories
The call goes out
rippling through Creatures, Places, Beings
cycling back through voice, art, sparks
Wisdom from the Future Beings
and breath swirling together with
Living Beings,
deep time and special places,
ancestral lineages,
continuous placekeepers, and
living wisdom traditions,
energizing presence
These whispers, breaths,
and voices stir a rhythm at the
center of the circles of sharing
Weaving webs across dimensions,
possibilities, and enlivenings.
We lean in to listen….
What insights and offerings
might be stirring here?
We lean in, too, within,
to listen:
and the tympanum
at the center of the circles
of the hearts within
also
thrums
May these stories, songs,
presences, and rhythms
ripple outward again
in life-giving sweeps
and Gaian remembrance.
May this circle be convened
in care and gratitude.
May these reverberations
shake loose despair’s power
toward deeper connection and caring.
May these resonances
deepen the four-fold perspective shifts
opening
widening self,
sharing power,
deepening time, and
richer community.
May these circles
nurture the deeper calls to action,
going forth in creative inspiration,
daring possibilities,
support, enthusiasm:
stronger in uncertainty.
Come gather in these
story-sharing circles.
We lean in and breathe:
listening for rolling
emergence
wisdom
insight
sharing…
What we’ve learned,
what is possible,
what can carry forward
in the greater circles and cycles
of becoming.
