the door cracks
light steams through
i catch a glimpse of
infinity
divinity
glorious, hopeful possibility
a world healed
a life alive
hearts joined
electrifying, cleansing, liberating connection
source
cosmic other and same
all-filling, breath-nabbing, wonder-slamming total

how to hold this?
the wind tries to blow the door shut
no!
my goal is the far side of this door

rumi might say
see, the door is in you
you're already on the other side
