David Whyte is one of my favorite poets and has a poem called “Still Possible” that I read recently which has these lovely lines:
“It’s still possible to fully understand
you have always been the place
where the miracle has happened:
that you have been since your birth,
the bread given and the wine lifted,
the change witnessed and the change itself,
that you have secretly been, all along,
a goodness that can continue
to be a goodness to itself.
It’s still possible in the end
to realize why you are here
and why you have endured.”
Our 33rd Life Equation is Possible = Still.
