Easter +50
The inner and the outer worlds
blend and fuse and liberate
taking us beyond in the here
and into eternity in the now
Barriers fall and
we live in our limits
yet on the other side of
mortality and self
A new language never of
our own making possesses
and burns uniting us in a
meaning of mystery and many
when we know only because
we are fully known
Energy bursts and explodes
from the smallest thought or thing
and simultaneously there is an
inner calm and creative turmoil
beyond our understanding
This is a way of being alive
that is always new
but has existed for ever –
it comes as a gift and
costs everything and nothing
It is born in love
and borne on love:
it is never mine yet
always possessing –
holy, spirit, wisdom, life –
contradiction of reason and
paradox of possibilities
Breath that we draw
into the inner world
and fire that is exhaled
from the soul
Fusion of all fragments
fall flame flow
into the moment
and enter –
veni
