There are times in our lives when we see a place we would like to be, but also the great chasm of the unknown that lies between where we are and what we can imagine. Sometimes we choose this kind of transition, and sometimes it comes despite our attempts to push it far, far away: stepping away from a career that no longer gives life, losing a young spouse without warning, letting go of old worn-out family patterns, etc. These are times that leave us in the in-between - these are times of longing.
LongingI long for Water
to cleanse my soul
and soak into my Being.
I long for Beauty
that takes away my words
and gives life.
I long for Silence
to enfold and embrace
the Holy Space within.
I long for Wind
to blow away the dross
and leave the fullness.
I long for Spirit,
the breath of life,
the movement of all.
I long for Courage
to step forward through fear
in the name of truth.
in the silent presence
of your Love.
May you find presence in the midst of emptiness.
Peace, Dave
