under this summers moon,
how gentle everything becomes-
never ending, quiet, silent and so simple.
How sweet a kiss can be,
like that of a child.
Oh, Venus,
how did we conjure up such beauty?
How did we create such colour,
sound,
such splendor?
It took only remembering-
It took knowing that each cell ... holds
a beautiful experience in living-
each spirit we meet
along our sacred journey,
is another member of our family,
and the door
to our heart,
is home.
