I love the idea that we are a continuation of an ancient love, established in the womb and serving as the background melody of our journey through space and time.

Beautiful poem, Jonathan, capturing that first moment and the "everlasting undulation" and shimmer of life until, once again, we return to the well.

Breathing the final truth of our mysterious existence and drinking the music of our lives. This may well be the mission statement we all seem to be perpetually searching for. Beautiful, Jonathan. And happy belated birthday.

Trodden snow. First foot steps. A leap forward to spring profusion of a drink of water. Life begins with a yawn waking to see dawn’s face.
