Today You came running With a small specked egg Warm in your hand. You could barely understand, I know, As I told you Of Beginnings -- Of egg and bird Told, too, That years ago You began, Smaller than sight. And then, As egg yearns for sky And seed Stretches to tree, You became -- Like me.
Oh, But there's So much more. You and I, Child, Have just begun.
Think: Worlds from now What might we be? -- We, Who are seed Of Diety.
"If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties." ~Francis Bacon

BEGINNINGS
Today
You came running
With a small specked egg
Warm in your hand.
You could barely understand,
I know,
As I told you
Of Beginnings --
Of egg and bird
Told, too,
That years ago
You began,
Smaller than sight.
And then,
As egg yearns for sky
And seed
Stretches to tree,
You became --
Like me.
Oh,
But there's
So much more.
You and I,
Child,
Have just begun.
Think:
Worlds from now
What might we be? --
We,
Who are seed
Of Diety.
Carol Lynn Pearson
