ļ»æ Reprise: How Then Shall We LIve? (in such a time as this . . .) Ellie elliestock@aol.com
HOW THEN SHALL WE LIVE?
What do we call what calls from the deep, that pulses through stars and quickens heartās beep, that surges through waves and cleanses with fire, emerges from dust and breathes soulās desire? What do we name what mocks human pride, that bends the Tree of Life, sustaining beingās tide?
How do we greet what calls to our deep, that lasers vulnerabilities and loves us from fearās sleep, that mourns lost illusions and leaves us defenseless, transforms the present moment and awakens all senses? How do we embrace what eternalizes finitude, that opens wide portals, flooding tears of gratitude?
How do we know what calls us to decide, that gives no guarantee and provides no place to hide, that beckons all our care and trumps the doubt within, reckons despair and hope and connects all creature kin? How do we abide in what struggles to create, that explodes time and space, freeing partners with Earthās fate?
How then shall we live what chisels passionās edge, that re-sculpts pastās confoundings and empowers futureās wedge, that compels us far beyond mindās strength or comfort zone, propels trusting steps into great workās bidding unknown? How shall we now journey in vast community with that which journeys through us profoundly and boundlessly?
