Drawn from the sediment
over the stones,
to follow the flow
of the river of Life.

Carried by the current of giving and receiving,
I see three movements:
listening and attending, the first;
greeting and meeting, the second;
contribution and community, the third.

And what follows
is in motion – its direction given –
toward the North Star,
the Calling, calling,
Calling me onward,
Calling me upward,
Calling me
Home.
