Where Spirit Meets The Bone

“Where Spirit Meets The Bone”

There is a place in the heart of a lion 
Like that which lives in your heart;

Hunting, stalking
Scanning over open field…
Water and rock

That which you are searching for
Is also searching for you.

Years pass…
and the passion
and the single focused determination
Hold you to the hunt.

Other years pass…
and lost in your despair and surrender
The hunt will not let you go.

This quickening in the heart of the lion not unlike yourself
Is not marked by arrivals or acquisitions.

It is the place where Spirit Meets the Bone;
The place of action, beauty and love
Un-shadowed by thought.

Easing forward…
Held by grace
Guided by faith
To touch the unknown

Where you can only hear
The undecipherable whispers
Of the unknowable.

There is a place in your heart 
As there in the heart of a lion
