There is a power in gathering with a group of like minded people with the same intention. I experienced it at the recent OD for Life gathering in Denmark. Where the following words emerged from the depth of the collective. Capturing what I experienced during our time together is challenging as it is a lived experience. Yet, there is a yearning to convey some of it. Therefore, I would like to share the following poem that emerged (titled: Words won't save us); It was the hand of life I saw first then a step into faith  before I fell into your lush green vibrancy.   Riding on the woodpecker’s drumming my heart started beating to a new rhythm attuned to the ancient song of the land   Enchanted by the fertility of the forest I hear the whisper of a tree “Love what is right in front of you”   Evoked by the sacred sensuality that creates life I get up to follow the others back returning to life in the time of the big divide   Listening to the talking a current stir from an unfathomable depth inside untamable, the holy rage uttered a primal sound   cutting through the noise making space for earth’s wisdom to arise “words won’t save us”   vibrating a truth that waits for us to stop the blind doing To drop into the dark canyon of our hearts and bodies allowing the waterbirth that is coming. Thanks to all of you that held space, facilitated and brought your unique aliveness to the event. Din van Helden, Michelle Holliday, Anne Weber Carlsen, Dorothe Liebig, Ramona Fricke, Dr. Claudia GROSS - ExChange Facilitator, Klemens Höppner, Stine Sasa Jacobsen and the others I'm not yet connected with on LinkedIn May we all keep on co-creating with live and love life back into work.
