The Sacred Hoop Of Healing

In a Dream of Vision 

 In a Place where Hearts  reside  and are 

Consumed in Grief   

I saw not Anger nor Retribution  

Not the Face of Hatred  nor of Despair  

But the Clear and All Encompassing  

Heart Of All That Is   

I saw Each One Stand  

Mother Father Brother each 

Child of the Seventh Generation  

In Peace and Understanding   

And Facing His Brother  His Sister  

Each Child of Their Children's Children  

Wrapped his Heart around....   

And kissing the Tears  on the 

Tear stained face  of the One he Held  

Released His Own Pain   

And when he had opened himself  

To Receive 

Unconditionally  the pain and 

unbearable sorrow  of his Brother   

Only then  When Each had Received  

The Healing  of each and every Heart   

Would raise their eyes  to Wanbli  

To All That Is  

In utter Acceptance and Resolve   

Making the Unimaginable 

Grief of each and every Heart  

His Own 

Would we Heal   

And as their hearts and hands reached out  

Would open their own Hearts  

To become that Hollow Bone  of 

Acceptance and Responsibility  of 

All That Is   

And in Unified Silence  

Take upon themselves  

The Duty and the Honour  

Which is Each Our Own   

Of allowing each hand  

And Every Heart  

To take up and to Receive  

and hold closer than Forever   

The River Of Tears  Of All Mankind   

The River Of Tears  Of Humankind  

As One Swift Uptaking  Breath  

Of All That Is  

Is made our Own.
