It’s a liminal time, a time when the veil is thin and as Richard Rohr writes: “we are invited to be aware of deep time – that is, past, present, and future gathering into one especially holy moment.”  We honor our ancestors, all of our ancestors, and their presence within us.

Today as I sat with day coming to light I was filled with Rainer Maria Rilke’s words:

Ah, not to be cut off,

not through the slightest partition

shut out from the law of the stars.

The inner – what is it?

if not the intensified sky,

hurled through with birds and deep

with the winds of homecoming.
