It is a gif. To be one with all the world
does not come as an act of the will.
Even deeply yearning may be in vain,
but remaining inwardly open and still
a sense of belonging may descend like softest rain—
That is the gift to be one. With all the world—
a bewildering array of shapes and sizes,
inert masses and strangest creatures hurled
at us, and folk who come in many guises,
it is a gift to be one with all the world—
a gift as elusive as sublime—absurd
yet written in the stars, our lives unfurled
on this planet in galaxies enswirled.
It is a gift to be one with all the world
