Stroke of Joy
Friday, 11. May 2007, 23:00:02
From France to England
Amida is everywhere
fire, wind, water and air
heart, mind, feet and hands
to be with Joy who has suffered a stroke.
From present to past
Amida reveals
forgotten memories, adolescent ideals
painful rooms with their shadows cast
onto a future, so fragile, so tenuous
From somewhere to nowhere
Amida fills you
full of compassion and patience too
full of laughter, awe, reverence and care
For the love of all sentient beings alive in this world.
From birth to death
Amida is holding
you, me and the world unfolding
loving us right up until our last breath
Gently carrying us to the Pureland.
