Invocation

***

Take a deep breath. 

Make a wish for someone. 

Think of a word. 

It could be any word, 

but for the sake of unity, 

let's think the same word. 

Let's think the word man. 

Consider the word man, 

and all that it suggests. 

Think of a man. 

See a man in your mind

as you say the word 

in your head, man. 

Think of the sound 

that the word man

makes in your mind. 

Hear the sound of the word

as you say it aloud, man.

Now

Think of a woman that you love - 

a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife. 

Think of your love for her. 

Think of her love for you. 

Be embraced and enveloped by it, 

engulfed and absorbed in it. 

Wonder in it. 

Think of love. 

Think of a woman you love 

hearing the sound of the word, woman. 

Think of a woman you love 

making the sound of the word, woman.  

Think of the woman you love 

thinking the sound of the word

that you took a deep breath for.

Think. 

Love. 

Sound.

Take a deep breath. 

Make a wish for someone. 

Think of a word. 

Now

*Breathe*
