The first thing I remember is breathing under water.
And what do you remember, dear and distant friend?
Lifetimes, braided together like blessed challah bread,
are intertwined, one into the next, sometimes glimpsed.
Living so differently, in music, through earthquakes and
tidal waves, we visit from one time into another,
to learn, to see life through one heart, our one unbounded
mind, the one universal soul that inhabits us all.
I have heard it said that after our ten thousandth lifetime
we can go home to our limitless beginnings.
Are we ready, dear, and distant friend?
Are you? Am I?
