Connect with me if you can: a poem and letter to Om / The ocean of our people Coming into being

Connect with me if you can: A poem and letter to the Ocean of Our People who have been and are coming into being, and inspired by the message given by Alice Fraser “And because only the unfinished can contain the infinite.” - The Alice Fraser Trilogy Connect with me if you can Because of the chords youʼve played in me by being you Iʼd like to connect, Iʼd like to connect to your chords Lower and upper tones Om, and low moan hmmmmmmm of the universe. Thatʼs the long Process I can hope to let you in on, I offer the part of me, the being in the present, my Best offer of what is, my imperfect contribution Call it peace or possibility or Order or beauty The uncompleted, the living into, the beyond what we can contain or comprehend. Iʼm called to live that in the breathe, the infinite between. In the continuous “revelation”, the part at your core, where you get clear just by being Call it ones best living, the open centered living. Thatʼs what lasts beyond us. Thatʼs what I understand of you, that is the piece you bring, even if you think you donʼt or canʼt, The push off from believing you do, Because you are bringing it, into the places you that you come to- Itʼs that bringing of yourself to the infinite, that brings me to love you, the infinite uncompleted you. Our offering to each other is to challenge, to claim, with clarity of centered conviction, And your part of that unfolding infinite. I am lifted and centered, by believing in your part in that infinite. And thatʼs the “life chord” that I want to play, I want to listen to it in You, offering a True clang of I love you, I love you, I love you I love you for the peace you bring to life and offer just by being you, imperfect, perfect, certain, uncertain, peaceful and troubled - in all of your parts Thatʼs how I can love you Laura MacNorlin “All I really really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you...” - Joni Mitchell
