to be of what is

 

to be of honor 

with what is,

in the service of how 

it is being done.

but not in the efforts 

of convenience,

not in the leverage 

of one-sidedness 

or a self-serving approach.

but to be 

with what it is, 

through the actions 

of what we do.

not for our time together

to pass more swiftly.

but to be immersed 

more deeply,

in the livingness 

of its presence,

as we are 

its energetic truth 

in passing . . .
