Among the Living

We are most alive among the living.

What better place than this wonderland

of elemental chaos,

pulsing with a rhythm that takes its form

in breaths and beating wings.

Wind and water weave their way

into this grand chorus,

while leaves and petals sway about

the bright, fragrant air.

We take their gifts into our lungs,

breathing in as they breathe out.

All thus live in mutual dependency.

Interconnected.

Important.

Let us gather where we take our root -

our intention.
