Another day of moving through the holy place
of people traveling – me along with them,
immersing in the river of their efforts
and their individuality  –  how they are loved,
and how they long for love,
how their love is hidden, and how it shows

I travel smooth, I travel filled with joy,
for all of us are hoping to be seen,
and everyone I truly see
elates my heart,
and in that seeing,
I am fully blessed.
