Accepting the Invitation to Begin

Accepting the Invitation to Begin

It is time, neither too soon nor too late,

Lest anticipation preclude the bloom

Take Now and let It blossom boldly

Neither lost in a glory now fading

Nor in a Now which never arrives

Because it is always held just beyond

What invites us at this very moment

To join each other in the holy Now.

Yes Ram Das's be Here Now triumph

Yes Thomas bearing pretense to false

Signs of witness and knowledge 

The woundedness we share is profound

But still the truth of pain is finally bound

To bring us back together where we began.
