The Liturgy of the Open Palm - A Dawn Meditation on Cosmic Exchange

Image
      The hour when the night has not yet departed, and the day is but a pale, bluish promise along the edge of the horizon, always carries a sense of naked truth. I sit in the silence of this early room, as the first rays of sunlight pierce the glass like thin, luminous fingers, and I think about touch. About those completely mundane, almost automatic gestures we exchange out of habit, never suspecting that within them lies encoded the entire metaphysics of our existence. We say: Give me five . We say it with ease, with a smile, sometimes in passing, while rushing somewhere, locked within our own tiny, isolated worlds. But what does this truly represent, if we strip away the layer of daily banality? What happens in that microsecond when two palms meet in the air and press against each other? This is a merging .

But what fate awaits it, what will betide?

For her, no sadness, no right or wrong,
She acts by her principles, steadfast and strong.
If only we sensed them within our core,
We wouldn't unleash what we deplore.
Humanity, with its flawed understanding,
Afflicts the planet, it's alarming.
We kill ourselves, pollute our source,
Yet nature simply reflects our course.
Will we heed the symptoms she displays?
Realize our interconnected ways?
Recognize the need for responsibility,
For everything is like the body's ability.
The physical body, it has its bound,
After showing symptoms, all around,
If not treated, problems persist,
And like the body, it ceases to exist.
So too with Earth, the signs are clear,
But is there anyone to hear?
