Another Epiphany

 

The world is made of

      sparkling awareness.

Just to be awake

      is Christ.

This is why we're always

      arriving

           at the journey's end,

     our home is everywhere,

          and the source

     of abundance

          is our gratitude.

Thank you, willow.

      Thank you, morning star.

Thank you, wise men

           and shepherds,

      donkey and dove.

We bow down in all

      directions at once

           because we are

      each other.

Our foreheads

      ignite the straw.

Thank you, infant light

      of sparkling awareness

           for this

never-ending birth.
