THREE STRANDS IN A BRAID
Weaving Learning Into Wisdom
Paula Underwood
Reach out with your Mind
And touch the edges of each thing
as it exists
See
The configurations
of form and color
Bend and shape Awareness
Reach out with your Hand
And sense the depth
of the texture of Life
The nature of warp and woof
The weaving of one way of being
with another
Celebrate the complexity
of Wholeness
Reach out with your Heart
And sense
the essence of things
Hear the throb of the Life Beat
The Universal pulse
That paces the beat of your heart
and mine
Reach out with Mind
and Hand
and Heart
And see how it is
that Life is One
Undivided
by the divisions of our perceptions
Reach out with Mind alone
or Hand alone
or even with a lonely Heart
And see how it is
We limit ourselves
Celebrate the joining
of the Three-Way Path
Mind
and Hand
and Heart
Weave into a full perception
Join Wholeness
and Dimension
and Diversity
Into a singularity of Vision
Let it be so . . .
