This is how She holds You.

This is how She holds you.
When the heart is heavy, collapsing inwards
or
full to bursting with all that yearns to be held and met and loved within it

Lie on the ground
let Her hold you,
receive you
as you are.

As life moves through you, now.

Release down into the ground.
Her steady presence
Her strong embrace.
Not for a moment does she turn away.

She
receives you,
shattered and shimmering
in your broken wholeness.

Then, when a wave comes –
along with the desire to brace against it –

Dive.

Dive into each sheet of emotion.
Feel it.
Float in Her.
The whole ocean holds you.

When you think yourself
too small to contain all of this human life
Look up

Look to the skies and remember your vastness

There is nothing to contain, when you remember you are Her.

Hear the blessing of birdsong
the breeze
the leaves

She sees you
gift that you are.
In bud, in bloom
Holy broken
ever whole
the muck
and the mud
and the glorious.

Sit
Stand
Fall
Fight

All the while She holds you

Swim
Fly
Dance
Die

All the while She holds you
In tears
in kisses
compassion
and bliss

Forget
Remember
Deny
Delight

All the while She holds you

Always

in
all ways

This is how She holds you.
