Thoughts for young elders

Approaching elderhood,

I am journeying to

the strong, rooted place

 

where stillness

overtakes motion

and silence 

seeps around sound;

 

where growth

is no longer

forward or up

but deeply in;

 

where ‘sacred’

exists in all that is

and ‘ordinary’

is an expression of wonder!
