Babel

i hold eternity

like a drop of water in my palm,
whole unto itself
i can hear it's fragile song-
it whispers sweetly
like the sound of the wind in the trees
all of Creation
suddenly seems to sing...

that
every Step, every Breath-
like a pebble on the Road,
and 
every Road, every Path
leads us Home-

call Him by any name
or even call It, She
hail from any nation
under any creed,
how arrogant to reinvent
God
in our own image
it only serves to build walls
fuels hatred and division-

Krishna Buddha Jesu Cristo
Pachamama Maheo
Mi Diosito Yahweh Jah
Goddess Holy One

yeah, Babel has fallen and we're all callin'
out the same name
in different tongues...

and
in the same way that every ray
leads to the sun-
in the same way that every stream
flows towards the sea-
every Step, every Breath
like a pebble on the Road
and
every Road, every Path
will lead us Home,
leads us Home.

nspps"how arrogant to reinvent
