What You Thought You Lost

On rediscovering and recovering our own and other people’s qualities and possibilities in the midst of everything that happens. How what we think we've lost in life may actually be ever-present, just waiting to be rediscovered, often brought to us by the presence of others. And the possibility that every encounter with another person, even difficult ones, can remind us of qualities within ourselves we may have forgotten if we can maintain a sense of wonder and openness to the mysterious nature of things.

What You Thought You Lost

What you thought you lost along the way
hangs in the air like a prayer

May you find your way home
may the doors swing open wide
            from the out and the in
              side
under a wide open sky

May you lose
            may you find,
may you know
              in the core
of your weathered soul your old
and your new sign

May every stranger on the path
become the one who
                        stopped

to hang something you thought
you lost in the air
              by a thread like an ancient
pagan prayer
            like some kind of
elder
          warm-eyed
guardian was standing there.
