All that is beautiful, All that is ravaged

“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
