Walking Each Other Home
Linda Barnes 1942 (Ohio)
Are you ready to be walked home?
I will guide you and walk beside you
when you have uncovered all the hurt buried
deep inside you where your truth glows.
And all the treasures of your sacred life.
Place these truths in the satchel you will carry.
I have been waiting for you.
I will walk you home.
And you will walk me home.
When I, too, have dug deep and
found my own hurt.
And I will also have my satchel
with the treasures of my precious human life.
I know you are waiting for me.
And you will walk me home.
And we of the circle will be there
To walk each other home.
We will walk into the circle of love.
And we will meet our Sacred Mother
in the spaciousness of her womb.
She is waiting for us to awaken.
She will walk us home.
