there is something of the Infinite
        that swims the waters around us
                that swells within us
        like breath itself

through her we are alive
        with the precious fuel of life
                her lush curves and colours
        awakening Beauty’s muse
to dance her song upon each heart

        and what of the times retreat is too tempting
                when the need to be safe
        the allure of solitude
overwhelms

        with each breath we sink deeper within
                with each heartbeat the walls grow stronger
        higher
the soul shrinks in upon herself

        to a place where the Vast Mystery’s touch
                feels like nothing more than intrusion

        her hand is outstretched
her touch ready to lend the healing we crave like air
        and yet we resist

                are we afraid our hearts will obliterate
        when the light breaks through the cracks
will we lose self amid her roiling river

        what will it take for us each to remember
                when the tug of despair wants to pull us under
        it is time to reach our hearts out
to float in the river of Gratitude
        awakened to the shimmering weave of soul-family
                these pulsing connections the drumbeat of victory
over the myth of alone

We’re diving in together to be Given to Gratitude. Won’t you join us?
