We can tell our stories in ways that encourage blame and guilt
Anger, resentment and pain.
And we can tell our stories in ways
That seek connection, that encourage love
And turn us toward forgiveness.
Break through your accustomed ways of seeing and being.
Dare to dream.
Be courageous in your imagining.
This is the gateway.
This is the path.
Let us go down to the well again and again, and let us rise up with loving kindness and generosity that is steadfast and true.

The fire is lit.
The altar is set.

Thoughts, stories and patterns,
Even when they no longer serve.
