Footprints in the Windsm # 1393
When you invite
ask of each something difficult—
three days of their lives, a week entire
commitment, active commitment
responsibility taken up for what they love
sacred life substance spilled—sweat…tears…blood
work, effort full work against unfavorable forces
—something hard to give
a thing of great worthSpilt blood you need not ask every time
yet keep this symbol in your gut
if it’s worth gathering at all
ask for more than you dare
a thing of great cost
for you to ask, for them to give
This is the only thing worth inviting
Please pass it on.
