🌵🔥 Crone of the Wide Sky (Georgia’s Blessing)

Georgia O’Keeffe…
Grandmother of seeing…
Black hat against the sky…
Ghost Ranch. New Mexico.
Teach us.

⸻

Verse 1
She comes in black and silence,
Wide brim hat, desert sun.
Her beauty is not decoration,
It is what remains when wanting is done.

She says, “To see takes time.”
So sit.
So stay.
So let the world come close enough to speak.

Chant
Slow down
Look longer
Look deeper
Stay

⸻

Chorus (Invocation)
Grandmother of wide sky
Teach us to see
Grandmother of bones and flowers
Teach us to be
Still enough
Brave enough
True enough
Free

⸻

Verse 2 (The Teaching)
She teaches courage in quiet ways:
To keep only what your hands can hold.
To let the rest return to dust and wind.

She teaches courage in quiet ways:
To choose what you love and not turn away.
To let beauty stand without shrinking.

She says, “Nothing is less real than realism,”
And hands you what is true.

Chant
Keep what matters
Leave the rest
Choose the true
Choose the deep

⸻

Verse 3 (Garden / Life as Art)
She keeps a garden in the desert,
Not to prove anything,
But because tending life
Is a form of listening.

White walls. Black door. Open table.
Everything only what she needs.
She says, “I found I could say things
With color and shapes,”
So you learn to trust your eyes.

Chant
Trust the eye
Trust the hand
Trust the silence
Trust the land

⸻

Chorus (Invocation)
Grandmother of quiet fire
Teach us the way
Grandmother of chosen life
Teach us to stay
With our work
With our truth
With our own
Name

⸻

Bridge (Crone Wisdom)
She says, “I’ve been afraid every moment of my life,”
And she keeps walking.

She does not ask permission.
She does not explain.
She protects her seeing.
She keeps her name.

Chant
No permission
No crowd
No frame
No bow

⸻

Final Chorus (Blessing)
Grandmother of desert and sky
Walk with us
Grandmother of fearless seeing
Talk with us
Teach our hands
Teach our eyes
Teach our hearts
How to live

⸻

Final Verse (Receiving the Lineage)
Now I wear my own black hat to the horizon,
I tend my small and sacred ground.
I keep what’s true. I leave the rest.
I listen for what has no sound.

I walk the way you opened for me,
With clear eyes, steady hands, and heart.
I will live simply. I will see deeply.
I will make my life my art.

⸻

Outro (Spoken Blessing)
Black hat.
White bones.
Living garden.
Wide sky mind.
Go slowly.
Look deeply.
Make your life your art.
