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.
