Not separate as we believe
As we believe
We are not as separate
Than we thought
We are more one

Even if strangers we ought engage
There are those who pass through the world as if strangers in a foreign land, not wishing to be touched by what is around them. Today this often stems from an aberrational reading of scriptures. Others, like Francis of Assisi, reading these scriptures, saw brothers and sisters and holiness in the animals and birds, woods and rocks and rills. It is for us to engage!

The summer’s come on so suddenly
The summer’s come on so suddenly
& now is nearly gone
the seasons come round so quickly
they leave my head spinning
The older I get the faster spins
the reel of remaining tape
Yet if we look
we may catch glimpse
of what & how divinity sees
how many things fit together
& where & who & why
This is a gift of elderhood
this time-space from which to see
a larger view
