The Centered Life

By Jane Tawel

March 16, 2022

*

There can be no circumference

without a center point.

And though all points surrounding,

wobble;

The Center can and does still —

and it holds

still.

*

It is we who let the unsteady legs of our small compasses,

bend and rust,

and always feel we must,

create something apart

from that which holds our hearts,

and holds the world in Her turning,

And with our childish yearning,

we twist the method roughly;

unsteadying in our haste and waste,

our whole circled meaning,

created self, created design.

And flawing the Flawless

in our attempts to move the Center of Our Being,

we search for a freedom to scribble crooked lines

apart from the true Trued.
