It’s good to notice this
It’s good to remember
It’s good to look back in awe
and consider
how this has happened
From fractured trusts
and disappointed hopes
and the attempts to shore them up
by shoving them in boxes
and constricting them,
depriving them of light
To a calm dawn
of endless possibility
A strong bond
An infinite security
An opening of something so grand
So boundless in its purity
We can’t begin to fathom what it is
Since it happened here
it can happen again
in every sphere
for everyone
The seamless, perfect pattern of our lives
can be revealed
And everything we held as hurt or broken
can be healed
And every promise of sustaining goodness
can come forth
in its effortless unfolding
And be our lives.
