I pass this church, now a meditation center, many times a day.
It's the open tower that catches my heart.
and all the towers like this that I see as I’m walking and driving.
Open(bell) towers feels like a metaphor of the soul,
still sheltered in the body but also open to the air and sky
- the spirit. The small light inside me, that has been here
before it was captured in this body.
This little light
that searches for Light that wants to emerge
from the dark interior of the creature to the top,
to be connected with the Light.
It reminds me to be present and to go a little deeper.
It reminds me that there is a light within me,
that is sustained by every effort that is
made to give it air – a little breath of space from
my i's and noise so that it can join my life.
