I have climbed the mountain The wished for, in order to scatter your ashes. Your life cut short by how our larger nations settle their clashes. But, we were a nation of two, ready to take on the arms and letters upon the earth. In your absence I know not what to do. In your absence, no presence of worth.

This underwater sculpture garden off the coast of Cancun reminds us that life is fragile, and that human endeavors have frailty to them. Original photographer unknown. Original sculpture artist unknown. The poem by Emily Dickinson figured prominently in Tom Burmester’s ‘Nation of Two’. The live theatre production is still playing at the Bruka Theatre in Reno, NV.

We stormed after the moon,
like angels with broken wings.
Wishing we could fly and swoon,
teaching soldiers how to sing.
Turning our frailty into tune,
bringing up wounds and things
done that needed done doing,
looking beyond what the day brings.

~ Leap of Faith ~
.
To take that leap, or not take that leap. That is the question. Whether it is more noble to be a cog in a machine, the nail that gets hammered, or fodder for propaganda; or to have faith that more can be experienced, more can be loved, and more can be lived. We must trust our gear, our people, and the rules of existence that we know to be true. We must trust the leap itself.

Within the framework of the matrimony we’ve constructed for ourselves lies the majesty of an even deeper love. Fulfilling. Challenging. Heartbreaking at times. And yet, it chases us down. It begs for depth. It sings in our absence in the hope that we might join in. That we might know the words and join in. That we might know love.

Be still. Listen to what it has to offer. Let the mental gymnastics go. Be still and know things are unfolding as they should. Gather your resources without saying a single word. Find companionship in solitary space.
