Timeless

 We are  timeless

you and I

from the edge of the universe

to our mitochondrial DNA

everything separate

and yet every point connected to the other

Your inhalation

is my outbreath

our ecstatic sigh

everything

and nothing

and everything in between

When we’re apart

a piece of me is with you

When we’re together

no words need to be said

and yet I have a desire 

      to ask you questions 

           just to hear your voice

               to make you laugh

        just to have you with me

everywhere 

and nowhere

and every point between

until there is no space between us

even when you’re far away

We are  timeless

you and I

Connected

From distant shores, to our front doors, We are connected. From the blood in my veins, to the great savannah plains, We are connected. From galaxies swirling through space, to the cells that help us taste, We are connected. From the beating of our hearts, to the fusion process igniting stars, We are connected. From the waters of the deep, to the babies as they sleep, We are connected. From the tiny ant held in your hand, to the beaches with all the sand, We are connected. Each strand of our existence is connected to others.

Through time and space, and even beyond, those strands keep us connected. Knowing who we are and what our connections hold, helps us build new connections and expanding pathways. Be kind with your words. Be gentle in your steps. Be soft with your gaze. We are connected.
