- The Grandeur of  Things Small and Large -

      
 - Flight Time -


Beyond the borders of the Turning,
In the pivot point of here and There,
Lies the Truth We Seek, our True Desire.
Go to that Center, draw a line though its axis,
Then unfold the wings of your soul and spirit,
And soar to the Presence of the One Who Calls Us.

The home of departure to the Heavens,
Lies midway between our soul and self.
All lines of flight lead to Love’s Embrace,
There, in the center of the heart, 
in the core of the soul.

The living poetry of Bryce Canyon,
spoken without words, without explanation.

How can rocks and sandstone speak?
When standing in awe of Nature's artistic creations,
how can their voices not be heard by opened ears -
the open ears of the heart and one's very soul.

The felt sense of wonder that takes breath away
is what God hoped for when Creation makes its way
past our intellect, past data and information,
and we, are imprinted to our core with Beauty.

All we are asked to do when in Beauty's Presence
is to enjoy the Gift we have been given.

I, for one, accept the Gift gladly !
