The Mystery Works
Life especially nourishes Life that nourishes Life.
The cultivation of the field directly and indirectly impacts community resilience, interrelatedness, and spiritual investment in the happenings of a place.
The relational ecology, or the field, that emerges with virtually any consistency of presence and devotional work tends to be incredibly fertile. There emerge useful complexities that shine light on what was not been noticed before, such as: possible linkages, thoroughfares of nourishment of all kinds, shared kin, devotions, vocations.
“The dream is too awake in me, won’t let me close my eyes. I do not want to miss this. It will be quiet as the spider’s song. Dew articulating the web. Blue thread of the hummingbird’s flight drawn as a warp through the wind’s weft: that is the sky. It will be high and clean as a lace of ice on the cloud’s spine. There will be light. A sign. And then maybe I’ll disappear... ” - Sophie Strand
There is good work for us to do, and it gets to be beautiful.
Here, in the front range of Colorado, North America, Gaia, The Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, the eternally grinning horizon of the divine, we have the opportunity to weave a More Beautiful World, starting right where we are.
Why? Because it is good to honor what nourishes us and gives us life - the land, ourselves, each other. Because we trust the wild fermentation of life to culture us into something useful for the vitality of the planet.
The Mystery works through our many relations, our truest desires, our shared and particular prayers; The Mystery works through the sweeps and rattles of the winds dancing the pines, the pinning brightness of the great shining sky. The Mystery works through the quiet tremors of roots pressing through stone, the clever seeking of the seed for water and sun. The Mystery works through the fermentation of the human-and-otherwise collective, remembering...
The Mystery Works is comprised of the Collective, the Movement, and all the beings working on behalf of the uncanny vitality of the Earth. We are a weaving of diverse brilliances into a web of consciously connected Life, mobilizing on behalf of the clever flourishing of the Earth, for the relationships of depth and beauty that nourish our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls.
It matters that we are here together.
