April/May, 2021

Last month went by in a blur. As May tracks at the same pace, I paused today to tap into where I am more deeply. The biggest theme in my life has been personal relationships with people. I feel like I have a solid understanding of relationship with nature, animals, plants and even professional relationships. But interpersonal relationships have been a bit of a mystery to me. As I meditated upon this topic, here’s the bit of poetry that arose:

The One

It’s always been you.

The you that has been with me this

Entire time.

It’s the wedding anniversary of all anniversaries.

I see you and

I know who I am.

We are the same, you and me.

We are the expression, the earnest willingness

To be free.

There is no “other”, it’s always been

Us.

Together, in each step, each breath, each blink of the eye.

Thank you for always being the One.

Dear God,

You are so beautiful!
