I travel from home
through home,
to home –
all of these places
affirm me

All of these moments join
in the vast collaboration of moments,
like water flowing uphill,
bounding in the joy of it

All of these people,
threads of their path lines
intersecting briefly,
dance out the fountain
of their internal impetus

All of them run on infinity,
all of them fueled
by the hum of connection. All of us prove
with the grace we’ve forgotten to notice,
how we are powered,
how we are home in the whole.
