Rediscovery
author's note:
At a time of many disasters, I'm working not to become a disaster myself.
REDISCOVERY
Though I don't pray religiously...
sometimes, I do
lower my knees
then lower my head
and join right palm to left
because this pause
and position
somehow quiets thought
and in the quiet
I rediscover
the wordless wisdom
of what seems to be
a god within
but in this rediscovery
I realize the chasm
between how I usually act
and what I truly am
but in my shame
I regain the purity of humility
and a sense of hope--
knowing again the deeper truth
about myself.
