With my crackly voice I thought I might read one of my favoured pieces of writing. This is
Ode to Water
Water,
With all your wisdom, beauty and power, I am in awe.
Beckon me toward your house, let me lay at your feet. Grace me with your unspeakable caress; take my body and release me from my flesh. Hold me while I learn to be in your presence, that place of privilege. Know me, in all my past, present and future, and let me worship you with all my truth.
Wash the flesh away. Show me raw, naked and pure.
Take me as you need to, to the depths of my soul, to the depths of your saintly core. And in return, I give you all. I will honour all that you whisper in my ear. I open my body, my flesh, my mind, my being for you in complete faith of your light, your complete knowing. Let me be worthy of your wisdom, beauty and power.
Take me, strip me and make me born again.
