Recently I was gifted with a lovely painting done by Sister Dorothy Ann Howley. I was struck by the way in which it spoke to me and I offer this reflection/poem for your own personal use, if it is helpful.
Circling, ever circling,
The energy created.
Circling, ever circling
it sends us forth to be
the source of Love for all
to be to see.
We are that heart that beats
We are that drum that pounds
So on we must go
To where we n'ere have been
All is steady,
All is ready
for life unfolding
for Love unfolding
-Sister Kathleen Lichti, csj
Love Arising
My heart beats,
The drum pounds.
My heart pounds,
The drum beats
All is steady,
All is ready
for life unfolding
for eyes beholding
Feather-like she rises,
Gracefully so easily.
Heart ablaze with Love
with Love do we arise
