We speak words
To each other often
Missing one another’s heart,
Frequently passing by in space and time
Unable to connect
Communicate.
Once in a while our words
Miss their mark
Yet something mysteriously happens
Despite our failure
Regardless of our intention.
Something deep from within consciousness
Unconsciousness, the depth of
Our connection to all things,
God included,
Rises upward to intercept these words
To become ignited, energized, made alive
And all of our life is changed
And all of our life is changed.
The inner person we were
The stance towards the world we lived within
Our disposition towards reality
Sudden laughter
Unending joy
Clear vision
Rapid heart-healing
Any and all of these results
Come to be
From a miscalculated word
Spoken, which drops into the well
Of unending consciousness and
Sets free the contents of our personhood
Sets free the contents of our personhood.
