prompt 12 hour 12

 

The sentence is: “I have faith in the ceremony.” from Research as Ceremony by Shawn Wilson. I am doing my Master’s degree in Indigenous Education for Reconciliation and Resurgence….so there are lots of books like this laying around my house. I was happy I happened to choose this sentence. It fits so well into my life.

 

ceremony

 

At the end of the day,

I lean into few spaces

where faith dances alone.

 

I lean into spaces where

doubt live in layers –

has made friends with

want

in the darkest of days

before ceremony taught me my name.
