Inspirations

Today, as the unknown territory of winter truly approaches, I was reminded of one of my favorite poems. 

As swimmers dare 
to lie face to the sky 
and water bears them, 
as hawks rest upon air 
and air sustains them, 
so would I learn to attain 
freefall, and float 
into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace, 
knowing no effort earns 
that all-surrounding grace.

--Denise Levertov
