Swaying





sway, leaves, sway !

wind on your skin

raindrops dripping

sunlight resting

spine reaching up

clouds bending down

eternity

within your reach . . .

Time on Earth

I chose this photo because it is so full of life, and I want to hold this forever within me, to the last breathe I breath on this earth. These days, my awareness has heightened that this is the last third of my life. I have already lived two-thirds. this is the final third. I am hoping that this will be the best.  But what is the meaning of best? The happiest? the most peaceful? The most empowered? The closest to God, family and friends? The most meaningful in terms of contribution to other peoples' lives?  I would say, all of the above, and much more. What I realise I desire most deeply is simply summed in three words: Union with Him.  Dearest Beloved Lord, May our hearts be ONE. Give me your eyes, your ears, your touch.

Today it seems this will stretch till at least the end of the year. I daresay even most likely till at least the middle of next year.. but one can't be too sure. We can still hope for the miracle vaccine. The drop from heaven. The blessed cure we are all praying for. Gradually I have gotten used to connecting through the computer screen.
