Thrown into the stream,

Now gushing waters toss my body through the rapids, the waterfalls,

And yet rocks, smoothed from the ages,

Ensure travel is unimpeded by pain,

Until eventually,

I am at the estuary of my life.

Now, in the ocean I am floating,

Searching for souls who will be in this community of love,

Which is now my life.

  

The early journey just a relevant past.

Surrounded, now it seems like it is complete,

Or at least more than beginning.

The love which I feel for others,

And the need to connect with them astounds my heart,

Jumping and leaping with each new connection,

Searching for empathy, each moment.

This ever-expanding universe is the one of which de Chardin talked,

Where grace is never lost, merely shared in every increasing portions,

Until I am finally surrounded by love on all sides.

Making it visible where sadness and pain reside;

Where the communities work lies waiting.
