In the sun and wind
In the rain and sun,
Rainbow touched,
touched by inner truth

In the squares of sun and shadow
and windows framing vines and shingles,
In the quiet space between the action
we focus in

Could this tiny frame be a doorway?
Could it take in galaxies and light years?
Can we take off from here to fly infinity?
Could any starting point achieve the same?

In the rain-wet grass
and in a dog’s face
and in the happy glow
of well-contented cats
we witness grace

We will move forth from here
for here is where we are —
Our inner balance and our outward
will inform each other
forging the unity of hearts and stars.
