The Question

  The Question

 There are transitions,

  borders, and territories.

There are memories,

  inclinations, and intentions.

There are shifts,

  contexts, and foundations.

Each has a divine intention for you -

  to be with, learn from, and move on.

Can you feel all of it?

  the cosmic interplay

    delight and sorrow,

    beauty and desire,

    purpose and pulse,

    chaos and creation, 

A tapestry of threads,

  a tensegrity of wholeness,

  a life in discovery.

Beyond descriptions and definitions,

  in the language of wonder,

  there is an arising.  

Can you feel it?

What does your body love like

  the wild geese where there is a calling

  for connection to all things alive?

Can you live and the love the question?

With fearless abandon can you fly to the horizon?
