My meditation and yours
I do not know whether my meditation is your meditation, my contemplation is your contemplation: it seems to work for me, lift me, inspire me, refresh me, gives me poetry and life.

Life is one
Life is one. There is only one life. This is somehow what we try to capture with the word “God,” yet there is more: more within the beyond things we call G*d; more within the beyond-thing we call life; more, beyond more, simply more. Life lives us. We live life. We grab life. Life grasps us. Life is all there is. The sparkly stars, the hopping toads, the sitting rocks, the waving trees, the feeling beings: all of life, and all of living. Life is no thing. Life is not static; life ever moves. Life is in the living. Living is conversation with living.

An exchange of life
What happens
in an exchange of life?
Communication
but nothing communicated
but everything
life expands exponentially
impossibility’s possibility
fingertips on eyelids
hand in hand
mind learns of heart
heart learns of life
life learns of
earth touching bare feet
red of bird and white of snow
touching eye
ideal—real—commerce
of living
carrying us
carrying all
partners
in compassion
