Today

TODAY

I

Do not

Want to step so quickly

Over a beautiful line on God's palm

As I move through the earth's

Marketplace

Today.

I do not want to touch any object in the world

Without my eyes testifying to the truth

That everything is

My Beloved.

Something has happened

To my understanding of existence

That makes my heart always full of wonder

And kindness.

I do not

Want to step so quickly

Over this sacred place on God's body

That is right beneath your

Own feet.

As I 

Dance with

Precious life

Today.
