Wineskins

Wineskins

the old ones
cannot hold new wine
 causing them
to split and crumble..
the new ones
 are fresh models
prodding for recognition
midst the crumbling..

we seek explanations for
revolutionary changes which
 surprise and frighten..
religion and science
and politics
struggle to place
new thought and findings
into old wineskins..

and the shocking news
is that each one of us carries
the new wineskin in 
our own experience: 
 recognizing now the
unity and peace
of inside and out..
and more shocking:
this intimate wineskin
 never has been old..
