“When all secret thoughts of the Universe are known,
life will begin again. When dark waters breathe into the bluing mouth of the sky, when all that sprouts from the blazing core
is singed in harmonious change,
when masculine and feminie energies are equally accepted,
when time crawls inside itself, exposing eternal existence,
then all shall know there is, always has been,
everlastingly will be a sacred place where spirits gather for all in all.
Let us become consciously, ceremoniously grateful.”
― MariJo Moore
