Let’s play a game like the Ancestors. Obwisana is a children’s game out of Ghana, which encourages cooperation, movement, oral dexterity and even accuracy. Cooperators use stones and move them from hand to hand, getting faster and faster.
Let’s take [it] a little farther. We can be farmer’s of the heart as Rumi says, and remove the stones from our hearts field. I will help you. Go with me to the field, it’s a short walk. I have water. Close your eyes, and sing with me. See your heart. See the field. Walk the rows you have tilled over time. Feel the dirt on your feet. Sense it. Look for the stones. Pick up the stone and speak to it,
“I am going to move you, like the wind moves me.”
“I am going to mine you from my heart, and I will make an altar of you.”
Let’s transform this field into a lush garden, and it will bear seeds for a new generation.
