invite OR #newpsalm1.1

There’s an eye

with voice that speaks

from the center of my being. 

It is that rare place

from which the earth,

its inhabitants

makes sense to me. 

With clarity,

I can (finally) see things. 

From there,

I don’t see things

as they ultimately or finally are.

I see them as they are to me. 

This place, within me,

to actually arrive there,

is like breathing fresh air

for the first time.  

Each breath

has a sense of the next,

without a sense

that it is one less,

one closer,

to a limited set of breaths.

Maybe you know

the place I speak of

because you have such a place

within you. 

Maybe, you (can) relate.

If so, I invite you there. 

Join me. 

Perhaps,

in this polluted sea

of algorithmic (mis)information,

heartfelt (self) deceptions,

deep fakes, and

self-inflicted crisis...

we can find the space

between which

truth is shared and

connections can be

(really) made.
