The Between Times, A Pilgrimage

(Tessahara)

 

As wind that whispers through the valley

Gently lifting the wings of birds in flight

May he who goes before us all guide us

May she who comes after each one of us

pick us up when we stumble or falter.

 

On our pilgrimage from this place to that

we recall that our journey is from there is here.

To go is the same as is to remain.

to remain is the same as is to go.

It is in our end that we discover

that which we have sought from our beginning.

 

It is in the between time which exists

after the end of our last prayerful breath,

but before the beginning of the next

that our frail hearts first hear the whisper of love.

 

May she who comes after each one of us

pickus up when we stumble or falter.

May he who goes before us all guide us

as wind that whispers through the valley,

gently lifting the wings of birds in flight.

 

Mark Christopher Valentine
