Part II – The Travelers

Between departures and arrivals, of which being and living are, indeed, made, it seems that spaces have formed, in the case of these friends of yours - and even more so in the case of the feminine element of this Whole defined as OneLight*, that means connection beyond any definitions. Spaces that are long and wide... spaces that are absences, from certain perspectives, and yet make themselves presences, from other viewpoints. And it seems, in fact, that from the perspective of really being (not just passing by) here in AD, I have departed such a long time ago that it must feel, to all of you, like I'm never going to arrive again! But here I am, whole, and with a whole hug in a heart that is open, waiting for you to depart and arrive within it.

Many Travelers have arrived, configured as books, articles, stories and poems, embracing with strings of words – and simultaneously releasing - their own and whole spirit of gifts of creation, thus love. Gifts unfurling, like as many wings in flight across the vastness of many more skies, lives and emotions, condensed, also, in dreams that have become droplets of their own essence, to touch lips of soul and quench their thirst, yet not exhausting the thirsts of further dreams, springing fresh and aglow, from the same essence, which is always new. These were glorious, auspicious arrivals, welcomed with joy and radiant recognition. For such perfect arrivals, may you all be blessed infinitely.

Between departures and arrivals of health and unsoundness, of extreme fatigues and grateful repose, of obligations in torrents and pauses dripping slowly, of inspiration dispelling, through far too brief and far too evasive sun-bursts, a far too persistent and thick fog of stupor, from and to places that are all different and yet have the same substance and name of Travels, all but one, which has the name and essence of Home, thus I have been, thus I have lived, thus I have dreamed. Through thus being, thus living and thus dreaming, I have also been thinking of you all and of other connections, hoping that all have been well and that all departures and arrivals have been the most harmonious, thus the conceivably happiest.

And in all this, there hasn't been one single departure that has not been arrival, thus welcome, of what, beyond distance and even beyond expressions of closeness, ALWAYS IS, WAS, and WILL BE:

Whole – thus pure - Light&Love*
