A Cloud of Faeries, Angels, and Saints

These are my teachers, protectors, nudgers.

Joe, in your face, like Jesus, moving the establishment with his wounds.

Gay men of the spirit dancing us back to the mud of creation--uniting God, earth, and sexuality again.

Virginia and John,crone and sage, moving a mountain of men and women.

Bread and Puppet--social change by any art necessary.

Dirk Willems saving his persecutors.

Vermont's justices, changing our possibilities.

Francis of Assisi talking with nature.

Michael, archangel of justice, gift to me in my hour of need.

The list goes on: martyrs, artists, prophets, nymphs, faeries, energies of life. The cloud that surrounds me continues to grow. It reaches back centuries and forward tomorrow, filling this vessel with unexpected faith.
