She Rises

This week features part four of the Sacred Ground video series, based on my upcoming book, "Rooted: A Memoir of Homecoming."

The swollen sun faithfully wakes.

The dawn whispers of her constancy and renewal.

Every day she rises,

and her watery warmth

spills across the surface of the earth.

It pushes through a smoky

translucent shroud

knit into the atmosphere

by the nimble fingers

of a world crumbling apart.

She is a silent promise fulfilled.

Day after day Her body lifts up from the depths.

Hot liquid pulsing ball of fire.

She rises gently.

Her long elegant fingers stretch across the sky turning everything she touches into gold,

The earth cradles her light in a tender embrace.

Ascending with quiet grace, she never questions her path.

She faithfully rises.

She rises

casting illumination, warmth, goodness

upon the darkness of the world.

No amount of smoke or smog or squalor will stand in the way

of what she knows

she needs to do—

let her light shine.

No amount of danger or darkness or devilry will prevent her from sliding herself into the night and blazing light across the earth.

She was made to shine.

She was made to nurture the growth of things.

She was made to bring warmth and to illuminate.

And she is always faithful to her purpose.

The light has come.

And the light is you.

She Rises is the fourth installment in the five part Sacred Ground video series.
