My response to Christine's Invitation to Poetry
In her invitation she says "I was most moved however by the donkey they keep in the pasture with the sheep. Apparently he provides some extra protection for them from coyotes because he bonds with the sheep and then his size scares away some of the predators. "
Watchful strong Spirit
in you we trust
You live among us
knowing us and knowing our ways
Our need for food and nurture
Our needs for space and closeness
Our individuality and our collective identity
Lead us in our everyday routines
and beyond the bounds of our paddock
Secure in our knowledge of your care
Free in our knowledge of your love
Enlivened by your presence among us
Amen

Lovely.
Your blog title is much like my old one (just moved to a new venue recently).
