Friday 29 March
As many of you will know, storytelling and fire ceremony is an important part of our gatherings at the centre, and our recent Spring Equinox was no exception!
Under the guidance of our guest storyteller Andrea Raspolic and our resident community development worker Susannah Phillipson, we ‘cracked a story to plant a seed’ of hope with a communal piece of poetry, written collectively by all in attendance. We hope that you enjoy the beauty and inspiration of the words from this whimsical moment!
Life survives…
Even with trembling hands
believe and nurture
Hope as practice, home as living, seeds as past, present and future
All that is
Grieve and wonder
Heart is where home is
Infinite energy, hope springs eternal
Peace and love
What is lost, what is found, in our hearts, in the ground
Our collective inner insights
come full circle with us
Thankfulness, family, communication
I found my peace
In hard times, we find our strength
Fragile branches sheltering fierce crows invite us not to fight, but to take flight
Gifting a generation
Swinging high in a sycamore tree, I get lost in the wind and dream
I just want to live, to love, to be, to grow
You grow community like plants on your window sill
Regeneration
Patience
Balance
Harmony
The twilight of the Earth
Exquisite beauty lost to us, we honour you, we love you, dear Mother Earth
My creative approach to life
Out of stagnation, the chrysalis emerges, rebirthed anew
Do I still deserve Spring, if I don’t know how to dance
I still hope I get the sun
