I wanted to sit quietly with you for a moment, in this turn around moment of the Tide (Gregorian-wise).

I wanted to pause and breathe together, and steep ourselves in the waters.
To marinate in the beauty. That still surrounds and interpenetrates us.

I wanted to be still together as we each reflect and acknowledge, as we notice, forgive, perhaps rage a wee moment (or for longer moments), as we grieve, and as we gently gather unto ourselves what is precious.

And allow to dissolve, that which has had its time ~
