NPI Reflects Fall 2023

Savage Divinity By Barbara Sanders, LCSW https://sacredmetamorphoses.com/ Roaring Awakening Glowing Leading Gathering Sharing Blessing

Instead, we rejoice as we Impale ourselves On the spear of Bright white light

Feeling the burn Of suffering taking place The divine spark Once again ignites Through a new ritual

Empty at last While never feeling Alone again

Letting go of control Letting go of sorrow And despair Letting go of thoughts Mind, ego, achievement Releasing all rationality To the winds of change

Wiping out all stains All beliefs of sin And disgust Judgment and pride

(From the Chair-elect; continued from page 3)

The storm causes Disaster Clears the path For the opening of hearts More Love than was ever Experienced before Surrendering all thoughts Of attachments and binding Knotty, tangled relationships Knowing We do not own or possess Anything at all We are given gifts We receive blessings No more victimization No more perpetration No more blame and shame No more heavily laden guilt To bend our shoulders And weigh us down With the burdens of This world

Did you know that our NPI membership is comprised of up to FIVE different generations!?!? Our events often have attendees from The Silent Generation to Gen Z - each one representing the events, culture, norms and politics of each of those eras.
