The Divine
granted
me a key and now,
unlocking all
these doors and windows, secret passageways and tunnels.

Paradoxes no longer
paradoxical.

Sadness is now joy.
Death is now life.
But if I close my eyes and
build a wall, instead of embracing the
Now,
I will suddenly be
on the other side
again.

There.
Above that tree,
sparkles of love.
A car driving by –
the human imagination
in its glorious unfolding.
the unexpected delay
in being locked out, now,
an invitation to
immerse myself
in that bird’s love song.

I thought I was locked out, but
this

is

in!

if only my arms could stretch
the width of this Moment. I am overwhelmed
by the urge to embrace it.
My gratitude bursts.
