The One Constancy

“I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.”

― Mary Oliver

the song of the sacred

the song of life

is birthed deep

in that place where we are woven together with the Sacred

thus, no matter what trials and joy life may bring

it is the one constancy

and so, in the face of illness and death

we sing

when life caves in and we can no longer see the light

we sing

when the rain falls

or fails to come

we sing

in moments of celebration and hope

when joy abounds

we sing

sometimes we raise our voices

and sometimes our singing is silent

only a faint echo in the soul
