It’s still possible

It’s still possible to fully understand

you have always been the place

where the miracle has happened:

that you have been since your birth,

the bread given and the wine lifted,

the change witnessed and the change itself,

that you have secretly been, all along,

a goodness that can continue

to be a goodness to itself.

It’s still possible in the end

to realize why you are here 

and why you have endured, 

and why you might have suffered 

so much, so that in the end, 

you could witness love, miraculously 

arriving from nowhere, crossing 

bravely as it does, out of darkness, 

from that great and spacious stillness 

inside you, to the simple, 

light-filled life of being said.
