Twice Blessed

So that I stopped there astonished 
by the great everywhere
calling to me
like an invisible 
unspoken invitation
radiating from where I stood,
everything given
and everything taken from me
everything wanting
and everything already given,
the way I have come so far and
the way I am still promised to go,
within and without,
something I was, and something I am now
and will be forever,
the sheer generosity of being loved
through loving:
the miracle reflection of a twice blessed life.
