Just One

Buried beneath the dizzying, nightmarish spin of often confused and sometimes venomous words and actions

Stories that reflect decades’ worth of unfelt hurt and unfaced fear

Mind desperately flailing to bring about conceptual understanding

With its fleeting promise of safety and security

Carried within the fiery heat, the icy trembling, the nauseating quake that threatens to consume and destroy

There is a shimmering brightness

A  radiant truth known only by feeling

The heart that longs to open and be cradled in warmth, gentleness, kindness and love

And to recognize and hold all of our hearts in that same life giving embrace

Underneath all of that there is just one heart

Yours, mine, ours

One.
