In the Beginning

Before the beginning there was only One.
One.
Singular.
All.

There arose in the One
a desire for relationship.
And the One withdrew
and created a space
that appeared to be other than the One.

Into this space
the One placed 10 vessels,
and into these 10 vessels,
the One poured Divine light.

More and more and more light
Until the vessels – full –
Shattered.

And from this shattering,
all that is,
and all that will ever be
unfolds.

Let us reach for each other
as we walk among the broken shards
that cut to the bone,
in the glorious light,
through the shadowed passageways.

Let us have the faith
to step into this world,
shattered at its core,
teeming with relationship,
and begin again,
again.

Let it be that the One shines through us
and who we are
mends and heals.
