Love in the Making
Above, the otherworldly stars
Nearby, the sound of waves
washing ashore
onto the cool expanse of sand,
touched by my toes and fingers
and inconspicuously,
slipping through every crack
of my resting body,
while caressing my skin.
All around me, the warm, delicate breeze
that too, embraces my skin with such sweet tenderness.
Here, where I can touch and
am touched by
air, fire and earth
and have the music of water
in my ears.
Here I feel love.
Here I feel the presence of something
greater than you and I,
these bodies and minds.
Here is something
boundless and infinite,
a guiding, loving force of transformation.

In the invisible spaces that she could see when she called herself back to the state she had been in at Helena’s house, she saw beings smiling to her. They had gathered around Kama and Lalita, wherever there was space. She could see their faces at the very back of the garden, where the star jasmine spread its stems. With the sound of the birds above and the earth vibrating underneath, she knew they all urged her to let go, to feel the earth and sky sing to her, to let her take in the glory of it all."
