From the Collection Day 19

The dead are not gone forever. They are in the paling shadows, And in the darkening shadows. The dead are not beneath the ground, They are in the rustling tree, In the murmuring wood, In the flowing water, In the still water, In the lonely place, in the crowd: The dead are not dead. Listen more often to things rather than beings. Hear the fire's voice, Hear the voice of water. In the wind hear the sobbing of the trees. It is the breathing of our forefathers, Who are not gone, not beneath the ground, Not dead. - Today’s breath prayer: listen/listen - Image from Susan B. Viemeister.
