The Cauldron of Motion
bestows, is bestowed
extends, is extended
nourishes, is nourished
magnifies, is magnified
invokes, is invoked
sings, is sung
preserves, is preserved
arranges, is arranged
supports, is supported.

It’s almost like
what we do,
will define what we become.
“If we…, then we are…’ ???

The Irish language itself is interesting, everything has a sort of personification or "beingness". For example, in Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic) they'll say something like : tiredness is on me. The linked article is all about a very ancient Irish way of doing both poetry and magic (the art of satire was something that could inflict and ruin kings), and yet, it is also a sort of philosophy for life. Kind of Zen-like. Or… beingness is defined by actions. The Irish language itself is interesting, everything has a sort of personification or “beingness”.
