Not Disconnected
We are components
of something larger
that maybe we can’t see
from our perspective.
We are not fragmentary ideas,
but individuals, never separated
from the whole. Like a spray
of water from a fountain
can feel exposed or uncertain
as it arcs around
in trepidatious free fall
only to splash and realize
that it remained within the system,
or like a colorful shard in a mosaic–
is so seemingly inconsequential
on its own, while it contributes
beautifully to an intricately
significant pattern–
we are never actually
isolated or alone,
insufficient or autonomous,
but cherished and held,
essential and complete,
already accepted and included
in a perfect fit– exactly
in our benevolent, right place.
