In the hurry-scurry is buried the passion and the fury. In the helter-skelter is masked the moment and the falter. In the falter is the falling. In the moment is minted The coin of exchange between time and eternity-- The pause to reflect on cause and effect-- Dropped on the clear surface of the pool in which Wholly Other And Wholly Self in strange attraction Consummate--Sacred with profane--Begetting the Swarm of Life. Out of their passion comes passage-- From the welter the welling, a stirring, a rippling, A breaking of the surface and from the pool is expelled That which is its nemesis and its heart-- Life, a synthesis of same and change-- For out of disturbance comes joyance; Out of the falter the fulfilling of that NOW In which all that loves and is loved has communion.
