Healer

I empty

the deep spiral hole

of My pain

out into the universe

and fill it

with the glory and beauty and truth

of the universe,

as all healers learn to do.

I pour My strength

into the centered hole of Gaia’s pain,

taking that pain into Myself.

I know there's nowhere else to put it: 

All is One. 

Becoming one with the sufferer,

I transmute suffering

into the Joy of Union.

The chain that is only

as strong as the weakest link

becomes whole again,

stronger for having been broken.

I, the battered abused One,

open at last

to receive My sister,

creative Courage.

In Unity, source of all sanity and health,

We are healed.

I feel such power for healing growing; 

I feel such tenderness for My sister. 

I know it's all been necessary,

voluntary initiation

a journey, a quest for wholeness.

I know it's all a chrysalis of change.

In the fiery crucible, We are transformed.

This is where it all has led to:

this challenge of Unity:

the broken pieces

of Our separation

come together, whole again,

reclaimed, re-membered, re-imagined, One.
