She doesn’t perform alchemy
She is the alchemical process

She needs not constantly seek to heal what is wounded
She carries holy wholeness in her unbroken soul

With supple shimmer, she slips out of stories worn old
Gliding from hidden worlds into the joy of pure presence

She is the scribe and curator of her own becoming
Guided by her call to the ministry of refuge and reclamation

Her unreasonable prayer is a song for the wellness of all
An offering of love, comfort and an invitation to the quickening...
