It is a gathering together,
a time to hang on to
the sanctity of what we
are, not what we think
we can be in another time.
This is the now of us,
though there will be many
nows to come, and not all
the same, for the parts
will not stay as they are
even if who we are remains.
Let us savour this together
and remember where the
spirit is that fills us up
with enough to take us
forward to an uncertain day.
