I Am The Way


One who speaks of a Way

is already lost.

One who seeks for an Other

is always lonely.

Christ says, I Am the Way,

the Truth, and the Life.

It is not the voice

of an ancient Palestinian rabbi,

but your voice, the roar I Am

from the golden core of your body.

You are the Way, 

breathed by the Truth,

pulsing with eternal Life

this moment.

How do I know?
I learned it from the silence

of an Autumn rose

bursting in my garden.

I heard it from a caterpillar

falling all Winter long

deeper, deeper into the chrysalis,

chanting her mantra,

"Spring."
