Free-Float

In the center –
of life, prayer,
and pretty much
all of creation –

there is the divine;
not an otherworldly being
of frightening proportions;

but an ocean
of gentle waves,
rocking us toward
the places where

we catch glimpses
of the marvelous vessels
of grace we've been
created to become.

We really can't swim
or paddle there.

Floating is all there is;
resting in this ocean's
rhythmic respiration;
jettisoning the baggage
of ego and pride;

ears tuned
to the wind's song;
trusting that we’ll arrive
in Kairos – when the time is right.
