Dust-speck existence

Dust-speck existence                                                                                    

I have been made aware that Your universal work,
done in seclusion long ago, included me,

not as a dust-speck in the cosmos
but as a companion on the new life road.

Those last human years, painfully at prayer,
alone in the bus or in Your room,

fist pounding to keep the connection – with me,
among others in our gross plane lives.

I was long in the body by then, halfway around the world
and in some unfathomable, intimate way, You reached me

through a childhood and adolescent Jesus,
revealing the ruin and insolvency of the world,

retrieving me from my own seclusion and dust-speck existence
to reunite with You, consciously connected,

moving briskly down the road toward freedom
from the bindings of self, body, time, ignorance and fear.

O child of God, everything is happening here and in the moment.
The Godman knows no boundaries of space or time.
