right here

The greatest thing seems incomplete
yet it never wears out
the fullest thing seems empty
yet it never runs dry
the straightest thing seems crooked
the cleverest thing seems clumsy
the richest thing seems poor
activity overcomes cold
stillness overcomes heat
who can be perfectly still
is able to govern the world
-- Red Pine, Chapter 45, Tao Te Ching

 "I'm right here," said Jesus.

And all the many forms of our Source proclaimed one by one and in unison, "So am I."

 "So am I," I said.

We formed into a circle and we laughed and danced and sang.
