“If I could find the right words to soothe you,

to calm you and comfort you,

I would blanket them around you

with blessings and prayers

And remind you that you will make it through

No matter how dim and narrow and harrowing it looks

A golden thread extends forward into eternity

pulling you forth

A cord of light from your heart

that connects you to the great sea of Being

that is the whole of us

yes invisible

but do not doubt it,

for it is the very fabric of our Being

the hidden secret

that wells our eyes with tears

as we recognize ourselves

in each other.”~
