I am not alone,
for in this journey of the mind,
I bring you all with me –
you who I have known a long time,
you I see in these most recent days,
you I knew before but lost contact,
you I’ve never met

I bring you all with me
because, in truth, 
there’s no way I could go alone.
My mind and yours,
like one fish seen as two
in the refraction of the glass
must move together

I can’t go there alone,
for we are one,
and will rejoice together
in every glimpse of truth and beauty
all along the way.
