This moment.
This "now" that we sit in.
A place to be.
All it took to get us into this moment.
All the encounter.
Job terminations;
Relationships crossing our paths;s
Tears and smiles,
screams of joy and anger;
Praise, worship, success, rejection.
Of crazy dances and star jumps,
Betrayals and lies;
At the end of this reflection,
what mattered was neither the highs nor lows that life showed us.
It showed us more.
It was never the experience.
It showed us a birth.
A birth of this silent presence.
You showed up.
You showed up regardless
Better still, to have stayed the course.
Now, in this silence of this moment, a rest of gratitude.
A conviction that love holds this biology together.
A truth that your arrival here and now makes up a larger picture.
This moment.
An accidental fate.
