The First Moment

A door opens in the center of our being and we seem to fall through it into immense depths which, although they are infinite, are all accessible to us; all eternity seems to have become ours in this one placid and breathless contact.
 
Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation


The approach is clear;
light of day,
bright sky
beyond my
silken shroud,

the door is open,
but I am afraid.

Should I pass through,
perhaps descend to
endless depths?

I listen,
I hear you calling me
calling me;

come home.

so, breathless,
trembling with life,
I begin.
