"It's the heaving breath of the very earth
carrying along the prayer of all things:
Do all things pray? I do not know
but I do know all things want to live...
to survive and thrive.
"All giving silent thanks and remembrance
each moment. . .while we hurry past
heedless of the mysteries...
Some of us try not to hurry past...
some of us take heed of the mysteries...
some of us dedicate our lives in convents,
monastaries, ashrams, caves, homes, tents...
in reverence and gratitude.
And yet, every secret wants to be told,
every shy creature to approach and trust us
if we patiently listen with all our senses.
Trust and patience. Two virtues
I would welcome more of in my world.
Patience has always been puny.
Trust was stronger but diminishes with ripening,
I'm sad to report.
I would love for them to increase
and strengthen as I believe
they may be the key to a wholehearted existence.
May we be in sync with the "heaving breath of the very earth."
