“In spirit and in truth”

It’s said, about your essence,

You can’t see it face to face,

although it’s always here —

It’s known to you within you

in your limbs, and in your light

and in the inner chime

that hums you in reverberation

as you’re moved

It is the same with God —

That elemental goodness,

that aliveness, that

ever unsuppressed

law of joy

is something you encounter

as you live it, as your essence —

Not something you could meet

and walk away from —

Something you take with you,

more yours than your walk,

your stance, your face —

Something — like your eyes —

that you can only see reflected,

something you embody

in your grace.
