Here is a meditation from The Finding Stone, by Christin Lore Weber … to begin the first Sunday in May, and to celebrate what is within each of us!

She swam to the farthest limits of the sea and back,
And the stone was within her.
At last she made her way toward land.

I cannot measure the limits of my possibilities. Who knows of what I am capable?

“I will be tenacious,” my friend whispers as she swims against the currents of her oncoming death, as she touches every shoreline of her life, as she finally allows the full tide of this final experience to carry her, bring her to the place of her beginning. “Will you be tenacious?” she questions me and her eyes burn.

“I will.”

She holds me with those eyes. She is not finished with me yet. “Promise!” she demands.

“I promise.”

I am learning the extent of that commitment. I touch every shore. I swim the dark expanse. I swim the depths and swim the shallows. I chart my way by the stars, by the sun, by the moon. And when clouds obscure the sky, I feel the currents around and within. I trust them now. They will take me home.
