celtic mystics found "thin places"
between the worlds
where insight and rescue live

each of us pass near such places
when hearts hurt, when needs are great
when that thin place opens a wee while

then we remember we are not alone
are given life again, are healed
are overflowingly filled with light

sometimes it is the air that is thin
in such thin air others reach to touch us
again with love

so promises are kept
so hope is shared
