A Hope-Finder
I stand in a familiar valley,
sensations of rich sadness
and vibrant health
somehow coexisting within.
I stop and breathe,
honor the tension of
that which seems
so diametrically opposed.
I gaze to the mountain
that has been part of my life
since before I can remember.
Such a mix of joy and sorrow
on its slopes and at its base.
I sigh.
A sad smile slowly widens
as I realize that through it all,
I have been a hope-finder,
an embracer and recorder
of oh-my-gosh moments.
Some of the tension
releases with a sweet gentleness.
There is a depth and a width
to that which goes,
partnered once again
with a recognition
of growth and healing.
The strength and sacredness
of the surrounds
allow for reorientation
to Divine truth,
enfolding the energy
of all inclusive Love.
Deeper, wider,
beautifully benign,
with hope and abundance that
is there for us all.
