Exhale. Time slows
to the pace of remembrance and anticipation.
A circle around Kokum's scarf
of intersecting resonance.
Energy flows.
A stone gathering stories
warmed as it passes
hand to hand
heart to heart
The beating drum
of so many ancestral dreams
spiraling into the moment.
Threads connecting past to future
Navel lessons, umbilical
tethering to place
To our passage into and beyond
the tingling liminal
space of shared
sacred breath.
