our mother earth and our father god

our father who art in haven
and around us and above us and so so far below us

holy mother gaia blessed be thy womb and thy breasts and thy bone and marrow and blood and tubers and rivers and rivers and iron and fire and floods

thy kingdom of heaven and hell cannot be farther than the clearing in the thicket where i bathed in moonlight almost knee deep in clouds of snow

thy will is being done constantly because earth is heaven and hell is found right here on earth.

thank you for all of the bread and the mana and thank you for all of your sweet sweet weeping

i feel forgiven each time a needle finds its way into my life. to draw blood. when the pine scraps her fingers through my hair. when the porcupine gives me one as a souvenir.

i trespass constantly though no one has ever trespassed against me. you made it so that all is yours and we are yours and we are one.

the devil does not knock he leans against the doorbell. temptation dances across the room and i join her constantly and sway as the tree tops in the wind.

deliver me through evil because there are so many ways to grow besides up.

for dear god i have been paying for my life time with attention , the most holy of currencies. if you turn your other cheek i will bite it the way i did the first

come winter the sun is more generous in the way she slices the sky pie and i am here to take and take and take and eat and eat and eat

amen
