People witness the call to enter sacred space with the declaration of the intention of honoring the many beings, gods and not gods that bless our world and our lives.
The first sacrifice is offered to our most common and ancient relationships of the living and dead that make up what we know and have yet to discover about the vastly huge and immensely complex truth!
EARTH
Mother of being
Lands of All Living
Generator of generations
All the way back
The one and only Original
The Real Deal
The Whole Thing
without idealization, without romanticization,
without interpretation, without exaggeration,
without expectation of special favor, without exploitation of practice
without fear of penalty, without obligation
offer of our selves this freely given gift to the Great Giver
a tiny bit from a tiny bit part of bigger things of bigger things
genuine authentic appreciation for a nurturing benevolent current that runs through the ages and things of this Living and Dying Place shared as a growing body shared as it is by all generously as particular participants in planetary personhood recognized here and now
Our Ritual in your name
with our breath
with our sound
with our words
in our voice
we pray
Earth Mother Accept Our Sacrifice!
