Our Maya

“We speak your name…

And… we…remember…”

Waddling into Breath:

Panting —

In an ever present smile;

A Joy witnessed:

By every heart,

And heard by every ear;

Panting:

A clock ticking off time;

Each puff —

A Sacred music:

Spanning heaven & earth;

Uniting 75,000 strangers —

Its gentle message:

Against all odds —

Rise and breathe and walk;

And as we do:

Touch and work and hope;

Always grateful:

Mostly graceful,

A piece of Divinity;

Passion passing by,

Never trapped by form,

But rising past:

The chains of flesh,

The lies of Time,

Shining and saying simply,

“I will love you

. past the end of time,”

Hoping:

You…can…do…the same…

I'm an integrative veterinarian interested in healing. I'd prefer to speak in poetry as we awaken the #HealingCommunity. Let's play together.
