Funny the place where we find ourselves landed,
So many cycles our life has spun,
So many ways we have felt ourselves different,
wandering down our life paths alone

Funny to come to this open space
where it suddenly doesn’t matter at all
what people’s course has been,
what life has given them,
how they have happened
to find themselves here

We are here —
that’s the simple fact:
Here’s where we are,
all of our journeys now equal

We are here
at this place of sacred beginnings
where all of our searchings converge
and all of our arcs bring us home.
