We are at the beginning
Of new cycles
In a world that is ours
Transcending time and space.
We are in the middle
Of taking stock
As we look to next steps
And ponder choices that follow.
We are at the end
Of the last season
Musing, reflecting on what we learned.
We become aware that
Before us lies the expanse
Of the next beginning.
We ask: What now?
We find ourselves
Alone
Communing inside
With images, thoughts and senses that translate to
Joy, sorrow, gratitude,
Fear, yearning, confusion,
Resentment
Contentment
We find ourselves
Communal
In actions, deeds, and meetings
In song and
In shared words of prayer.
We pause to look at
Those who surround us
And to look inward at ourselves.
What do we see?
Faces to remind us that
In minds
In hearts
In souls
Lie memories linking past
To present
To future
And we see in those
Connections
Sparks of creation
That fly everywhere.
