I am old, a hag
(a child, amazed)
Ancient, beautiful, strong
damaged, lost
(vital) confused
You are young, magnificent
(old, jaded) unwilling, kind
(cruel sometimes)
wise, perceptive
(blind) confusing...
...so much like me...
What can we share?
Parallel dreams
Silent awareness
Sympathy in laughter.
The passion of music
Quicksilver streams, expectant forest
the depth of a look
Intense, remote, connected
without a touch, you grip my soul.
Ah, my friend, I would show you what I've seen!
The stars, the worlds in drops of water
the surging energy of earth and lightning!
Glory and mystery in you!
Terror and fierce joy
This is life!
Everything fits, it all belongs
Ancient earth beyond imagining
ephemeral spark of insect-life
The baffling power of light
the bottomless, formless reservoir of love.
There is nothing in this universe that does not belong.
We belong.
Who can judge? Who condemn?
It's uncharted territory, a foreign land.
No map, no model, no script
...no matter.
The universe is vast
and we have but moments of existence,
and we're here!
To be on the same planet,
in the same universe, out of all the eons.
Imagine the chance!
It is enough, my friend.
