Marguerite Bouvard

Like a Tree May I make of my life a prayer, wearing my years like a tree; its flocks of leaves singing their tender vibratos, its gaunt limbs pouring blue rivers of shadow over snow. May I honor the wounds inscribed on my body. During times of drought may I plumb the holy water of rain in my heart.
