This is not the end.
This is the gathering,
the quick forming of a circle
that pools light, exudes warm,
and sets us remembering
what we are here for anyway,
sets us thinking
this is so easy,
this is really so very simple,
this is so much what we’ve always been about —
why didn’t we come to it sooner?
