“just be still and listen”<\/p>\n
was taught to me by my elders<\/p>\n
to connect to the lines of spirit<\/p>\n
between all beings<\/p>\n
made more loving for the teachings<\/p>\n
vibrating in those golden threads<\/p>\n
like rhizomes between plants<\/p>\n
like prayers in the air.<\/p>\n
they said you can’t hear the answers<\/p>\n
if you’re always asking for them.<\/p>\n
so I try to sit and listen,<\/p>\n
so still I won’t scare the voices away.<\/p>\n
