Trace

Ummm...here's something to lighten your moods...Enjoy...


Trace


I touched the trace of God again today
If only for the shortest brief or span
Redundant not nor repetiton's play
Wondrous love that luminates the plan

Ink is not enough and cannot flow
In torrents deep and swift nor will it be
As oceans falling up the love I know
A current vast as all inside of me

You live in every moment as we vie
In every fold or crease within the form
In every cell and particle you lie
With light you silent still the raging storm

You touched me as I lay in sorrows thrall
Replaced the wretch with worth that I might see
My place within the compass of the all
As all and yet as one unfettered free


I thought I would share this with you all here...It's something I wrote a few years back while pondering my relationship with the all...

Enjoy...

Ummm...thank you for your kind words Caladonea...When I think about myself it inevitably is of the very long journey toward that singular perfection we all hope to someday be welcomed into...A measure of my unfinished state stands high like a mountain...reminding me always of how easy it is to fall from any height we might think to have attained...

So perfectly imperfect...yet always also the realization that the traveling is never over when one steps in the right direction...Never over...never quite finished...ever journeying through travail...whispers of all those who suffer accompany me and all I have to give in return is a tear steeped in both sorrow and joy...an equal measure of a hand extended...of a heart in synch and a mindfullness awash in community...

These are the things I contemplate whenever I begin to think that I have reached some level of attainment...how can I hope to even step into exaltation...unless I had ushered all other souls on ahead of me...

Gotta admit, when I saw my first name as the title of this post, kinda got freaked out.
