I sit in the presence of the One,

that sun at the center of all things,

the shining singularity.

One. One. One. The word repeats

like a heartbeat. One love.

One truth. One light reflecting

in and through me.

To sense even for a moment

the unity underlying the diverse

manifestations of life is a gift

I do not take for granted.

One breath at a time. One mind

aligning with its creator.

One soul awash in

gratitude and wonder.
