Lost and Found

“Your sacred space is where you can 
find yourself over and over again.”
― Joseph Campbell


When politics ache
I practice finding home
for warmth and sanctuary.

When heart aches, home
reaches out to find me
searching for it where I stand.

There, here, I enter
my lair with God, and God
is all I am, wild with love.

In this signal house
I perceive your Godness, too,
and call from my home to yours,

  2. Luv the uninhibited call to God's love

    "There, here, I enter
    my lair with God, and God
    is all I am, wild with love."

    Have a nice Wednesday

  3. In this particular political climate, I do feel homeless. Perhaps if I practice finding home, it will be easier to bear.

  17. In this signal house
    I perceive your Godness, too,
    and call from my home to yours

    Godliness provides the solace at home that one finds elusive outside the four walls!

  18. A lovely piece, Susan. I think mist of us feel that our home is our sacred space, one that provides sanctuary, rest and relief. It is becoming more and more important to have that space as the world becomes increasingly troubled and society increasingly intrusive.
