The Meeting

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, September 28, 2003

Like old friends, finding one another again,
so I found God in you, in all of you
who bring me to my better self and remind me
of what a joy it is to be alive.

And I’ve found God, too, I,those who tell me
the sadness they have seen in lives
too short, too poor, too full of pain;
in lives that drag on when the Spirit of Life
has left them.

God is in the meeting
of life with life.
Amidst the darkness
and the strife,
there, where two souls dwell
as one, in peace.

God is in the expanding
of soul with soul,
all made whole at last
in the presence
of what the other lacks.

Find that secret meeting place:
that place where you can find
those souls who love you;
that place where you can know
at last the love you have
inside your very self.

Find that place, and dwell there
for a while (it will live within you always).
Then move on, and find a soul
who needs your kindness
as the very breath of life.
