Soul-ness

Standing in front ofthe bathroom mirrora glimpse of

a gray hairedWomancaught my vision.I looked into her eyesnoticing the gentlelaugh lines,

the joyous

dance inside the pupilsas we both smiled,"Hello, lady, life is being kind!"

I continued to wash my handsnoticing the age spots--the wear and tear,nudges of hard workand we smiled againreflecting each otherin remembrance ofmany journeys,"Ah, we've touched and loveddeeply with these!"

One last look into the glasswinking in delight,throwing a playful kiss

acknowledging the essence,"I'm so glad you are

with me on this path."

A moment of soul-nessstood behind,

shadows cast in the

infinite space of mirror

and mind….There…

I knew Divinity wasguiding the tenderness

with the Oneness of all

  life has taught me to be.
