IP the seed which was to become
you had never flowered, do you
know what you would have missed?
The sun's gold blessing on your head.
The sound of your own voice, your
own laughter, your own tears.
The miracle of your body, a beautiful
instrument designed for experiencing,
learning, caring, achieving.
The sweetness of water on thirsty
lips and the silk of it on dusty skin.
The taste of bread, fruit, meat and
the mingled caress of their fragrance.
Long grass under your toes. A bird in
flight against a cloud. The soaring ache
of the universe beyond the stars.
The release of rain and the awesome
anger of thunder.
The satisfaction of seeking and find
ing the peace of fulfillment.
A CERTAIN ECSTACY at unspecified
times and for unspecified reasons,
yet somehow a justification for being.
A quick recognition of love in the lines
pf a face, the touch of hands, in words
left unsaid, in an act of kindness with
no other reason.
Seeing again the same home town, the
same home, the same family as for the
first time and seeing in them the full cir
cle of existence.
The creation of a child or a place or a
piece of something beyond self, giving
your heart the right to beat for more
than its own need.
The lights of man's night and the
lights of God's night and you between,
a partner of both.
The privilege of being allowed these
years out of eternity to share the great
est adventure you can ever know :
Life itself.
