The closer I get
the more I see,
deeply,
irrefutably,
that we,
they,
go nowhere -
everywhere -
beyond and bigger
yet never excluding
all this.
When
our
little
left-side human brain
gets quiet,
unfettered
from fear,
they’re here -
no longer weary -
greeting us with open arms
as wide as the Universe
Singing
Whispering -
We’re so proud.
You made it through.
All of that unrelenting,
beautiful exhaustion.
And yet
now
this -
more than you dared imagine
added in -
the real You.
Welcome.
We were always
with you.
And so proud.
Welcome
Welcome home.
Author’s Note:
A meditation on what greets us when the noise fades, when we go quiet - not an ending, but a return - when the mind steps aside so that we might hear the song, the whisper - Welcome Home.
