I would never have considered being jealous of Jonah.
And yet, the belly of a whale sounds like a nice place
to retreat to for the next two/four years.
"to settle into time like it does into water"
To sink into the depths like the whale...
Let's keep this in mind when the surface is tumultuous.
"To patient beside the rumbling pump room of the heart."
This reminds me not to let my heart become stone...
to tend to it with tender care and continual concern.
To find "the quiet there...nowhere and everywhere at once."
And my favorite line of the poem:
"The holiness of that wholeness."
We have what it takes to meet this challenge.
We will find treasures we do not know exist.
I found one last night in a room overflowing
with folks showing up...gathering together...
in light of what's ahead...ready to stand strong.
We will see what the wonder of goodness is capable of.
Namaste'
