ever-present presence


In bits and pieces 
we all have been touched...
Some may agree,
some may argue.
But it's true - 
The truth has touched us
somewhere sometime surely.
The love never abandoned anyone of us.
No matter what we may think or may not...
The presence, the grace is always here.

Why we may feel
it's embrace so seldom,
is because we never opened our eyes
and looked at the breeze
that was always blowing.
The leaves of trees fluttered,
the wings of the butterflies did too,
and the scent the flowers sprayed -
We missed all that
because we were all too caught up!

And who is anyone to judge any of that?
For everyone has their own stories,
and to each one, the experience is real!
But it is also very relative.
And because it is relative,
it gives everyone the chance
to be free in the very moment.
Because it is relative -
All it takes is just
A single step!
