A Voice Through the Door


Sometimes you hear a voice through
the door calling you, as fish out of


water hear the waves, or a hunting
falcon hears the drum's come back.


This turning toward what you deeply
love saves you. Children fill their


shirts wth rocks and carry them
around. We're not children anymore.


Read the book of your life which has
been given you. A voice comes to


your soul saying, Lift your foot;
cross over; move into the emptiness


of quesion and answer and question
.
