There is an abundance deep within us
There is strength, generosity, tenderness, wisdom, compassion, nurturing and more
We are here… gathering
Gathering knowledge, experience, depth, trust and recognition
Of one another, of ourselves, of all there is to know
We are like small innocent children, fragile, scared, newly awake to this exploratory adventure
And because of this we are so often afraid
So afraid of what’s to come, what has past, what is present, what is near and far
And yet, we continue forward, taking one small, new step, each and every day
Remaining open to whatever awaits
We’re curious – so curious! Like cats, but trepidations and nervous like a turtle that doesn’t want to leave it’s shell
We twitch and squirm and wiggle and wander … until we’re lost
But then we always return
Again to the safety of our warm, cozy boroughs night after night
Until we are renewed, each and every morning
A rising, a greeting, a welcoming once again to the new day
And so on, and so on, and so on…
Until, we are fulfilled, until we are full, until we are content and whole
Truly known to ourselves and to each other
It is then we discover our truest selves, our eternal selves, our timelessness
We are the abundance, we are the strength, we are the knowing of all that is
We are the connected fiber of that which is…
…that is all
