The Upcoming Harvest

My dear subscribers,

As you know, I am launching a wellness and meditation related business soon. I can’t wait to share my first creation with you all.

The commitment to Life I have nurtured over my years of practice has deepened and expanded to the point where I must reap the harvest. And I must share the harvest.

My first creation will be the sharing of a bounty, harvested over lifetimes of tending. It will be the reaping of what my ancestors sowed. It will be a harvest of the communion I have entered with the Earth.

I’ve been revisiting this poem, again and again, as I prepare for my launch - it sums up my feelings around what is to come beautifully:

This is a give away poem
You've come gathering
made a circle with me of the places
I've wandered
I give you
the first daffodil opening
from earth I've sown
I give you
warm loaves of bread baked
in soft mounds like breasts
In this circle I pass each of you
a shell from our mother sea
Hold it in your spirit
Hear the stories she'll tell you
................................................
Within this basket is something you've been looking for
all of your life
Come take it
Take as much as you need
I give you seeds of a new way
I give you the moon shining on a fire of singing women
I give you the sound of our feet dancing
I give you the sound of our thoughts flying
I give you the sound of peace moving into our faces and sitting down
Come
This is a give away poem
I cannot go home
until you have taken everything and the basket which held it
When my hands are empty
I will be full
- Chrystos
