In the Footsteps of Christopher
The Bearer of Christ
As man of form and formless spirit
literally, figuratively, coarsely, subtly,
bringing us to where we are today
on this farther shore
blessed with the abundance of Eternal Life.
But how many of us even notice?
How many take the time
to see the light, feel the breeze
and trace the path
that led us to here and now?
I’d say not enough.
And so unconscious, unaware
we live out the modern world’s dream
as a nightmare struggle
of good against evil, love against fear
forgetting in the moment we are in fact
One in all, always, already here.
