Visiting Luna: Wednesday,
November 29, 2000
 Photo
by Shaun Walker/ OtterMedia I knelt
and touched
your wound today
and it hurt...
deeply.
I
am so sorry,
I am so sorry,
I am so sorry
the only words
that
made it through
my tears.
In your pain...
in my pain...
I
felt the pain
of the world.
In your wound
I saw the wounds
of
the world.
The chasm
of seperation,
the abyss
of lost
souls...
holding on by a thread
to our roots
in this fragile
fabric
called life.
The tear is deep,
but so is our commitment
to
healing.
I go through waves
of grief...
my sadness at our
disconnect
deep...
deep in the wound
of my soul.
I feel
dazed.
The hurt
sometimes
is a haze
of my ability to
see
clearly,
yet at the same time
it is opening and expanding
my
heart
to see clearer,
to go deeper...
growing pains.
I
know we will grow
together,
we will heal
together,
we
will live
together.
We will live
to stand another day,
and
we will grow
through the struggle
as it transforms
the sap
of our grief
into the strength
of our tomorrow.
And hope
lives
on
in our hearts
committed in action.
And the symbol
of
you
lives on
in the hearts
of those
committed in action.
And
the tear is deep,
but so is our commitment
to healing.
