The Power of Limits
From eternity I’ve entered into time,
experiencing my humanity
as a brief and narrow strait,
through which my spirit needs to
live and rise again.
This nanosecond of my existence;
this droplet of my being,
gifts me the sight of
the power of limits,
as I meander through this complex maze of life.
I see within the limits of
human form,
an endless festival of faces and bodies
reaching back and reaching beyond.
I see within the limits of
flowers and leaves,
an inexhaustible multeity
of proportionate shapes
and beauteous colours.
I see within the limits of
sounds created,
the possibility of never ending
harmony
I see within the limits of
communication,
the numerous modes, created and adopted
to share the ineffable
and experience our ‘interbeing’.
Within my limits, I see my limitlessness
through the windows to infinity;
nudging me to see how
opposites create complementarities,
to bring forth perpetual unity and order.
The panoply of life needs engagement
to love and grieve,
despair and hope,
laugh and cry,
and believe in the impossible,
as I journey back to my God within.
