The art of surfing change

Thank you @raz and @soup for this sandbox of words to play in. Such things are hard to find and I’m grateful. :green_heart:

Soup, your Dhumavati post made me think of the thousand name hymn. (Well first it made me think of how I’m feeling on the cusp of my crone era and I need to start looking for a hut at the edge of the village where I can dispense cryptic wisdom and dubious potions. I have been seeing a lot of crows in my yard lately:)

But more importantly, the thousand name hymn and how we could say that each life is a thousand name hymn of the Creator. I just had my solar return and wouldn’t it be a fruitful contemplative exercise this year to give name to ways the Creator has taken shape. Linguistic lanterns lighting the path.

Giver of dappled things
Taker of hard-earned wings
Taker of flight
Giver of rings of light
enough for one step at a time
Taker of sight
Giver of stars
Giver of distances
Giver of chasms between
and cazimis within
Giver of confusion
Taker of time
Giver of blind corners
Giver of rhyme
