I WONDER

 

I wonder if this human journey 

isn’t one of relative darkness

graced by consistent reminders of light 

 

an experience of constriction

with visions of freedom and flight

each path and every morning filled 

with invitations to allow ourselves to be cut 

and carved and sculpted toward ultimate beauty

which can only be realized through our suffering 

 

invitations

to release fear and open ourselves to love 

yes - in the midst of it

 

Grief and Joy are sisters then

wild twins

and one laughs while the other weeps

yet not for themselves

but for one another

each for the other

they kiss one another 

in this human existence

​

and together they sing the song of our lives

​
