SoulCollage® – Council Suit – Primordial
Born of mud
I am sulfur and primordial earth
Emerging from a cave of ancient stone
Worn by eons of wind and water
I am the Keeper of Deep Sorrows
Painted with the ash of
Innumerable past lives and loves
Dried grass, hand-knotted
Ties and binds me to all who’ve come before
I am the withering of green earth
Fading from vibrant life
Drying out and decaying
I am a warrior in training
Returning yet again
To master hello and goodbye
I am the spiral of eternity
The unfolding of time
Birth and rebirth and rebirth
Infinity
Expressed for one brief moment
As this body, in this now
I am but a wrinkle in time

Wonderful @SoulCollage(TM) workshop with Kathy Shimpock today! This is my favorite of 3 cards created today, and a poem that emerged from the “I am one who” exploration that followed.
Yes!! I’m so glad you’ve embarked on this journey. Love to hear more about your discoveries.
Heather – thanks so much for your continued encouragement to explore SoulCollage. This is amazing stuff! Looking forward to sharing with you in the future!
Wow…I truly felt this poem in my heart.
Thanks, Joi. As soon as I found the image of the boy, it was speaking to me deeply. When I did the “I am one who” dialogue work (as recommended in the SoulCollage(r) process), most of these words came through. I only edited a bit and added a few lines to create the poem from the raw notes of that dialogue.
