Words are not enough

What can I say Lord

that will heal?

What can I say Lord

that will help?

What can I say that will 

bridge the abyss 

that lies between myself

and that person

from whom I am separated?

That person who is dying?

That person who is hurting,

facing cancer

and loss

There are times

when words are not enough

are simply not adequate

We speak them

and they hang there 

in the air

they fill the space

and become more a wall

than a channel

Sometime

there is more to be "said" in the 

silence

in the presence

in the eyes meeting

the hearts meeting

it is the Spirit (big S) in me

touching the Spirit in you

that is enough

Namaste

the sacred in me, the sacred in you

The Christ in me, the Christ in you

It is that communion

that is enough
