And your task Today is the same as Yesterdays
Bend down and touch the Earth
Smell its life and decay
Listen to its silence and depth
Its roars and song
Its crashes and its stillness

Let this voice penetrate your heart 
Sliding past the noise of your busy mind
Trying to figure out the best strategies and tactics
Trying to manage your fragility, anger and fear

Instead 
Pour libations to your ancestors
Call to them in the sacred caves of your being
To support this journey you are blessed to be on

Let the sun bathe you 
Let the wind play on your face 
Let the ocean waves lick against your feet
Or crash against your body
Give thanks to the beings seldom seen 
Honor them and their constant love for you

Let these sacred relationships guide each step
Each breath
Send love to the soil beneath your feet 
To the air itself and the beings that surround you
Receive the love and support that they return to you as well

All of nature sings with you
Sings for you
Even as your despair and broken heart 
Tries to shield and protect you
From feeling helpless and alone

Don't forget the wonder of this life 
Because you don't know what to do
Because you are afraid
Because you are angry

Trust and feel into the present 
Today
Because this is where you are

With the Earth
The Ocean
The Wind 
The Trees
Your Ancestors 
The Divine
And each other
All Together
Because this is where you are
This is where your liberation calls to you
Today
