“There is a veil
Between earth and sky—
Calling us closer
She is there,
Already reaching
Waiting for you
A covering of wild light,
A mercy of mystery,
Inviting us to come
With our whole hearts
Step closer, my love
Reach out with your intention
And brush the hem of my veil
I am here—
Loving,
Whole,
Holy—
Ready to be known”
“There’s a part of me that has always known She was there. Waiting for me to slow down, to soften enough to notice.
I catch glimpses of Her that feels like a remembering…
I don’t have perfect language for it yet and am still reaching, still learning how to touch the hem of what is holy. But I do believe She, like Him, meets us in the reaching.
We don’t have to see everything clearly to belong in this love — we just have to come with seeking, aligned hearts. And I’m trying.”
