I weave and I paint
I build and I carve
I dance and I sing
I pray and I chant
Envisioning and acting
With love and patience.
I wash the dishes and sweep the floor
Fold the laundry and mow the lawn
Feed the animals, weed the garden
Neaten the house and sort the trash
Prepare the most delicious food I can
And have a kiss waiting the first moment I see you.
I journey daily into the heart of creation
Pacing my life in shamanic ecstasy
I trip the years on the light fantastic
Gazing to the future and giving thanks to all my relations
Converse with the Earth, the stars, and my friends
Often pausing to seek direction.
I sing, I howl, and roll in the grass
Crash through the woods and walk soundlessly
I'll bark or meow if I feel the need
Running with dogs and cats alike
Am scholar, statesman, party animal
Ready to share a cup of coffee.
I pay the bills and balance the books
Attending social functions and civic meetings
Provide a reference point for my community
And love to sit under my favorite tree
Roll a spliff
And appreciate what it all means.
