Sanctuary

This is home

The Name of the place

which is Peace and Happiness

a placeless place

the place of real Identity..

At the mundane level

we encounter the arguments:

a shelter for murderers and thieves

for the illegal immigrant 

sheltering a family..

The word itself

elicits a response

an initial grasping

of one of the different

expressions above..

The grasping seems

to be automatic

the openness response

or the contracted

couched in separation..

Yet we might imagine:

what if the open expression

is experienced as Identity

and the contracted

a momentary expression...
