The Wandering Now<\/p>\n

By<\/p>\n

Jennifer Angelina Petro<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are there times, plural? Times<\/p>\n

That exist multiplied, added,<\/p>\n

Subtracted, divided?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or is it one time and one time only?<\/p>\n

Is it one borderless time\u2014no alpha,<\/p>\n

No omega\u00a0time? No\u00a0chronos,<\/p>\n

No Kairos, no linear, no anywhere time?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We do know there are<\/p>\n

Rhythms of moons\u00a0and seasons,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We do know we breathe\u2014<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our lives,<\/p>\n

Our breath,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sifts through many branches,<\/p>\n

Spreads\u00a0through many bodies,<\/p>\n

Moves in a wind\u00a0that is kin to silence\u2014<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet even amidst\u00a0the changes that don\u2019t<\/p>\n

Really change, even amidst the sound<\/p>\n

Living in silence, and the silence living in sound<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is still a breath\u2014an expansion and contraction<\/p>\n

Of our place in time\u2014<\/p>\n

A breath that is, in itself, a spirit,<\/p>\n

A spirit that is, in itself, a body\u2014<\/p>\n

A body that is, in itself, the now made manifest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And from where we stand,<\/p>\n

In\u00a0all\u00a0of the mystery, and all<\/p>\n

The effort to find a center<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We blossom and\u00a0wither<\/p>\n

In no time at all\u2014<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So here we are\u2014maybe<\/p>\n

You need to join me in<\/p>\n

Lifting our\u00a0head,\u00a0lifting our hands\u2014<\/p>\n

And with all the earnestness\u00a0of a lost soul–<\/p>\n

Say to the everywhere:<\/p>\n

\u201cShow me.\u201d<\/p>\n
