Pilgrimage

My path unfolds one step at a time,
moving in circles, ever outward and
always in, my heart
a pebble, that sinks and sings
expanding out in reverberating rings.

How will I touch the world today?

Each day I wake,
my feet upon the earth,
each step a layer falls away.

A pilgrim of the heart,
I long to see divinity in everything
and everything in me.

I keep asking, what is my holy destination
and when will I arrive?

Could it be here, in this moment,
when I meet the sacred in your eyes?
Here in the trees that reach for the sky,
here in the buzz of honeybees
and a baby’s first cry.

We are all part of the mystery, the cycles,
the journey, I learn to surrender,
to follow the flow, the path is revealed
when I trust the unknown.
