SANDCASTLES And The Great Sweeping Waves Of Love “Like a sandcastle, everything we know and love and care about Is temporary against the waves Of time and experience…yet How profoundly wonderful And necessary it is for us To build it, enjoy it, love it, Care for it and believe in it Until that time when we Are called to gracefully Let it go in the flow Of our lives fully lived.” Playing with words and papers, I am like a child Building castles in the sand On a deserted stretch of beach— I am happy to be Playing in this realm, Even though I know Windy waves are waiting To sweep in and Wash all I have done Into the sea. Working with ideas And insights, fumbling Here and there with Slippery word paints, I know that underneath All I do, as source, Motivation and destination Are great sweeping waves Of love which inspire These words, reveal these Insights, provide this Innergy…. And so when The waves come, like The child who knows No better, I stand up Beside my sand castles And let the warm Loving waters of life Carry us both away. February 12, 1985 Still Mountain Retreat
