Drifting into deep space, I watched the glowing sun
and its planetary children disappear one-by-one.
As I moved away from that sustaining light,
something ignited in my soul...

As I slid deeper into darkness, I expected emptiness.
I waited for the coldness and loneliness to smother me.
But it wasn't like that at all.

Instead I felt all my broken pieces coming together at last.
I felt my wounds heal as Chiron passed beneath me.
And as I plunged into vast eternal dimensions I felt
the whole universe melt away.

I didn't know what to think; I didn't know who I even was
as I merged with the source of life.  I forgot my life.
But I remembered my greater life, the life I live in devotion
to tiny acts of creativity and love.

And as the last three planets sped by I fell into the
field of gravitational love and felt nourished like never before,
held by the mystery, supported by invisible vastness.

In that darkening forgetfulness I swam, turning in glee,
spiraling in awe until suddenly I caught sight of distant holy stars.

I saw my own star and gazed on it with compassion as
everything inside mixed with all that is my essence and longed
to explore, to experience what it would be like to breathe in a world of forms
orbiting one of those shimmering suns...
