Epiphany

Today I feel

Woven into the 

Stuff of the Universe.

Like a cat

I purr

As the waves

Of life

Wash silkily

Through my hair.

The Earth

Purrs too.

As dusk

Surrounds us

We feel otherness again,

Something else

Breathes mystery

Into the

Evening air,

Silent with birdsong.

Night brings stars

And the distances

In the closeness of darkness

And the otherness

Deepens:

I am aware of space.

The Earth

Holds me;

She is my anchor

When I sail to the stars.
