“I will soothe you and heal you,
I will bring you roses.
I too have been covered with thorns.”
― Rumi
I wander the roads
as the earth awakes
aware of my solitude
alone in the vastness of it all
and yet
and yet not alone
for I am part of all this grandeur
I belong
part of it all
the earth, the air
the breeze
the sunrise
a part of all that is beautiful
all that is ravaged
the Sacred surrounds me
encompasses me
fills me
what I experience
deep joy
exaltation
pain
is shared by the One
in whom I live
and who lives
in
me
