From Inward/outward

I pass this on from one of my favorite devotional sites

By Nancy Compton Williams
I must learn
the calligraphy
of egret stance,
poised on a word
that lies beneath
the weaving current,
steady, still.

Original Unity

"The deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless. It is beyond words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept. Not that we discover a new unity. We discover an older unity. My dear Brothers [and Sisters], we are already one. But we imagine that we are not. And what we have to recover is our original unity. What we have to be is what we are."
- Thomas Merton
