Both Ways at Once

Open/shut, alone/One,

like an atom I whirl My strength.

I Am pure space,

a living womb housing the Void,

conceiving change,

energy, motion and emotion,

giving Identity form.

Beginning in fertile dark, fearless,

breaking forms and rules,

I renew authenticity.

My visionary fingers trace

the place where future touches now.

I spiral, welling out to embrace the edge

of the expanding universe,

as well as deeper inward,

toward well-being,

center steady enough

to sustain the whole.
