Earthtribe Requiem

So here we are now together in this eternal circle around death's latest victim in our apartisan lives. We pause, each to invite a quieter humbling access to silent comfort from this ministering circle Each, and together, facing this our inevitable personal frighteningly human, naturally spiritual and inspirationally natural trauma Asking forgiveness from ourselves and each Other in this soon parting Circle, letting go of flawed relationships in which we have done and said, and too often not peacefully done and said, harm to ourselves and to these encircled Others Here doing our health and wellness best we can knowing some days and nights like this death day, with nighttime fears and angers against cruel and unusual mortality, we will add to our shared ecology and theology of Trauma: [invite Circle to add their own feelings] Loss Suffering Pain A degenerating climate Hopelessness Despair... Yet, also in this Sacred Pause before dispersing shared Death's hard inevitability, we may also invite remembering this our circling resonance, When, in our most robust compassion moments, health care giving is also wealth receiving resilient brilliant, physically empowering and spiritually enlightening We embrace and celebrate our recircling Trauma facing sacred place warmly regarding space For all that we have said and done and have not said and not done from heart-felt compassion with ________________; [full name of deceased/ing] This inside silent day and dark night, and those before and yet to come trusted truths and healthiest beauty Circles gathering Earth's compassion celebrating this sacred pause in our wealth of healthcare lives encircling death's departure.
