A Great Calm

This is a great calm.

This is the calm of beginnings,

of the virgin field

This is the calm of a warm core,

liquid and unformed,

brewing place for strong motion

This is the calm

of a darkness so great

there’s no room for anything but trust

Trust in the warm core

and what forms there,

Trust in the autopoiesis of everything

Trust in the harmony to which

we all are drawn

when we leave our schemes behind

and enter the great calm.
