Arms Wide Open

“Arms Wide Open”

To see the trail ahead with fresh eyes 
As if glimpsing for the first time 
The beauty around you
And with in you

To walk into your life 
With arms wide open
Like wings fo eagles spread
Across warm summer winds

To recognize each other on the path
to the holy with smiles and warmth

Like bright autumn leave of reds and gold’s circling in river eddies beneath maple and birch

To sit with the mystery and stillness 
Of cracking fires on winter nights
Smell of cedar, warm cup of tea 
Favorite blanket and a good book 

To feel deeply and completely the invocations of Spring cresting the lunar horizon at Imbolk

Calling us once again 
To sing… to laugh… to dance

May the road ahead be one of wonder, beauty and grace.

For Lynn on her birthday October 27th 2015. Inspired by all those who have walked the Camino de Santiago.
