We Are One

For a taste of Joyce Rupp's poetry, here's an exerpt from "We Are One":

with an eye as fresh and delicate as birth,
sneak a peek as each pulsing part of life
comes dancing, whirling, weaving,
secret neurons, veiled photons, hidden electrons,
whirling, skipping, pirouetting,
forming a cirlce of oneness with each other.

if your ear is keen enough, you will hear
their insistent, silent symphony,
moving freely in chasubles of beauty.

receive the music of their secret unity
as they glide within each other's life,
unaware of barriers built by static minds.

slip off the glaucoma of your heart
and revel in this signal beauty
dancing passionately
in the universe, and trembling in each atom.

from The Cosmic Dance:  An Invitation to Experience Our Oneness, by Joyce Rupp and Mary Southard
