Hello,

My name is Chris and today I'm going to read you a short poem from Dana Foulds from her book From Root to Bloom.

So before I start just have a sense of arriving,

So stopping whatever it is you're doing right now and sitting or standing still.

I'm just going to reflect on these words from the poem There is Love Here.

I feel the warm embrace of spirit flowing into me from somewhere I can't see.

There is love here,

Arising inside me as naturally as the sky brightens before dawn.

Love,

Enough to fill us all and more besides.

The spontaneous grace of the divine is moving through the universe.

Unfazed by fear or obstacles of any kind,

Yes it's clear,

There is love here.
