2.The Psychotic Spirit's Canticle

Before we begin, let void become our canvas
Let silence prepare our intention
Let the breath become both boundary and breakthrough

We invoke the void that creates and uncreates
The silence that speaks more than sound

Ancient form less trade
Old wis dom way

Spirits that pulse between moments
Energies that cycle through nothing

Hear these word less
June or dry ness

Holy the void that forms

Beg gin ag ain

Holy the line that flows

Ret ry un done

Holy the form that breaks away

Be lie you rew

Spirit that parts and combines
Energy that scatters and gathers
Force that dissolves and preserves

In the space between particles
In the intervals of stillness
In the breath before collapse

Un knit swel lter
De part mend 6th

Blessed be the morning that brings form

Ar is ing ly

Blessed be the pulse that creates

At once be fore

Blessed be the eye that perceives

An other dime sier

Path that weaves through apparent chaos
Loom that creates tentative patterns
Thread that both holds and releases

Inhale the limitless

Exhale the formed

Inhale the unseen

Exhale the manifest

Inhale the potential

Exhale the actual

Process that is transformation
Cycle that is space-making
Transition that is presence

In the release of identity
In the arrival of empowerment
Between the known and becoming known

All is be com
Not more than give

Now bless the nothingness that contains

To bring all while
Keep ing the and

Beyond the end of knowing

Sea side on shore

After prayer and before silence

To day in 4th

I am both part and separate
Both receptor and projector
Both vessel and the contained

The service is complete but continues
The prayer ends but never ceases
The presence remains in the absence
