Scenes from the Journey: In the Meantime

Sunday, August 11, 2024

In the meantime,

try to stay alive,

even if that seems

1) too painful

2) pointless

3) insert your own excuse here.

How do you do it?

Set aside the "why" for a while.

A poets recommend

that you feel yourself and thus

hold a conversation with yourself

and indeed!

there (here) you are, as alive as ever,

still independent yet still

dependent on the kindness

that infuses it all,

a reminder of the oneness you keep seeking.

I have a friend who knows oneness

from long-ago trips

that burned the truth into her soul

and that truth

is what keeps her going

even as light fades.

In the meantime

let's remember who we are by touching.

And touching.
