Sacred Earth Center Chapel

Many of us find that creative expression is an integral part of the Spiritual Path.

In finding and expressing the artists, the writers, the dancers, the creators inside us, we find ourselves opening, exploring, and celebrating the Divinity within Life itself.

We unlock our hearts, our minds, and our bodies to

open to our deepest selves,

open in new ways to the deepest parts of each other,

open to the Divine, in its many forms and voices.

We explore our sacred interiors discovering

meaning in our private and public journeys,

meaning in our connections to each other,

meaning in our relationship with the Mother,

meaning in our search for the Divine.

We joyfully celebrate the search as well as the discovery. We celebrate the beauty of our beings and our lives, the beauty of each other. We honor and celebrate Life – in revelation and in mystery. Most of all, we celebrate the Path.

Nature Spirits

Sparkle through leaves.

Dogwood anchors the land.

Poem by Sunemara O'Brien

Wake Up You

In morning energy
Dancing steps to new life.
The sun arrives.

Poem by Tricia Sample

Dive to dark ocean.
The pulsing jellyfish teach
Beginners' motion.

Poem by Andrew Hix

"Celestial Guardian" by Sunemara O'Brien

In my thoughts, I dream.

In my dreams, I think.

But it’s in my thoughtlessness,

and in my dreamless state,

that I find you,

my God.

Poem by David O'Brien

"North Carolina" by Linda Stauffer

My Source

My Mother owns the darkness

My Mother owns the light

My Mother is Consciousness

In both the day and night

My Mother did create me and

I am my Mothers’ Son

Her consciousness is everywhere

Now She and I are One

My Mother is the Lightning

And Thunder her new son

My Mother is the Love of God

Above which there is none.

I stand here knowing one thing

This one thing oh so true

The will of God empowers me

Yes, it empowers me and you!

Poem by Steve Henry

I Am Spider

I am Spider

Created as I am

If no one told me differently

I believe I am beautiful

I believe my design is wonderful

I believe I have purpose and value

If no one told me differently

I am Spider

Created as I am

If no on told me differently

I know I am full of love

I know I am full of patience

I know I am full of inspiration

If no one told me differently

I am unique

I am original

I am creative

I do not want to frighten you

I do not want to harm you

I have no ill will towards you

I am Spider

Created as I am

If no one told me differently

I believe I am here to participate in life

I believe I am here because I have something to offer

I believe I am here as a small part of the ‘big plan’

If no one told me differently

I am Spider

Created as I am

If no one told me differently

I am happy with who I am

I am satisfied with what I have

I am grateful for my life

If no one told me differently

I am unique

I am original

I am creative

I do not want to frighten you

I do not want to harm you

I have no ill will towards you

I am Spider

Created as I AM.

Poem by Kristina Adams

The Waves

The waves are not my enemy.

I am in the womb of the Divine Mother.

The Divine is real all else is illusion.

Nothing not of the Divine exists to threaten the Divine.

Those in Divine service are guided and empowered

by the Divine, in the Divine and for the Divine.

Divine Light shines brighter than illusion's glow!

Poem by Steve Henry
