A purpose beyond our purpose
Works like gravity and time
To fill the sea
Regardless of what civilizations rise and fall,
Or which country’s Conquistadors
Wreak chaos and havoc on which countries.
Through it all,
The Purpose is at work,
Calling us back to the source and ground of our life,
To the Tao of Eden,
To the Eden of Tao,
To “the face that was ours before we were born.”
To our Original Nature.
To balance and harmony.
To spirit, vitality, life.
To what purpose?
As though there could be a purpose
Beyond knowing
And being
Who we are,
doing what is called for
In the here and now of our living,
Through all contexts and circumstances,
Incarnating,
Exhibiting,
Expressing
Who we are
And what we are about
In ways appropriate to the occasion,
All our life long!
