all that is
was once
imagined
the seed
of possibility

until
it cracked

stillness
just to hear
the word
takes me
there
which is

step beyond
all the external noise
of the world
slip beneath
the thousands of thoughts
in your head
venture through the rhythm
of your breath
and your heartbeat
to the barely perceptible pulsing
source of life within
sacred space
that deep listening place
i’ll meet you there
nadine j. smet-weiss
when

heart
breaks
and everything
goes
dark
for a moment
that feels like

and you wonder
whether this
is the end
or the beginning
trust the beginning
let your heart
remain open
let life touch you
more deeply
let love flow
more fully
let the unnameable mystery
renew you

by nadine smet-weiss, spiritual director
in these days
of shutting down
what longing
is breaking open

like seed
seeking light
