Waking Up the Bhakti Barn
MANY THANKS!!!
To the 'Wake up the Bhakti Barn' team who gathered on Sunday May 5th to welcome in the 2024 season - Cheryl Tisler, Cherith Keeton, Deeanne Bevin, Diane Musial, James Knapp, Nicole Jundt, Tim Spencer! We scrubbed, swept, decorated, laughed, sang, smudged, broke bread and each read a stanza of this beautiful poem shared by Cherith Keeton:
THE WAKING OF THE BHAKTI BARN
In the early light of spring’s embrace,
Where dew-kissed petals adorn each space,
The barn arises, groaning awake,
To the rhythm of a new day’s quake.
From slumber deep, it stirs and sighs,
Beneath the azure-painted skies,
Its timbers creak with whispered lore,
Of ages past and tales galore.
Through open doors, the sunlight streams,
A symphony of hope, it seems,
As nature’s brush paints hues divine,
Upon the canvas, a scene so fine.
In the fields, where wildflowers bloom,
And fragrant whispers fill the room,
Indigenous traditions rise,
In songs that echo ancient skies.
The earth, a sacred tapestry,
Woven with ancestral legacy,
As seasons dance in timeless trance,
Eash step a sacred, rhythmic dance.
With every dawn, a new beginning,
In harmony, the earth is singing,
And in the heart of spring’s embrace,
The barn awakens to find its place.
We are looking forward to a wonderful 2024 season!
