The Time Traveler

As I sat quietly

The Earth spoke to me

It spoke through a speck of dust

A time traveler

I gazed upon it

Insignificant in size and appearance

Ordinary for sure

Yet, unique…no two specks alike

Not even colorful was it

Bland

Yet as I pondered it

I questioned the occasion of our meeting

How is it you came to me today?

By way of the Earth did you set out in ancient time?

A mighty rock or boulder

What is it you have seen?

By way of fire

A molten path from a volcano,

Or Vulcan itself?

By way of the oceans…

You have traversed the seven seas?

What did you see?

What wisdom do you carry with you?

Have you been lifted up to the heavens?

Ridden on an eagle’s wing?

Or a castaway in the rhythm of the wind?

Has this mighty wind brought you here today to speak to me?

Or do we just commune

Akin to each other

On this our journey

Sharing the moment?

“I’ll tell you my story if you tell me yours, I thought!”

“Fair enough!” the speck replied.

I sat amazed and intrigued

What could this speck possibly expound?

I began in greatness, a speck in the vast universe

I have taken many forms as you have speck-u-lated!

I have travelled many firmaments

Travelled light and dark alike

Elementally speaking, I have seen it all

Earth, air, fire and water are all known to me

But it is my ‘spirit’ within the universe that brings me here today

I say this to you…

‘You are on the right path’

You are perfect in all ways

The questions you have are meant to be asked

The doubt that you have is meant to be examined

Your curiosity will drive you to the answers that you seek

Once sought and answered, you will find your peace

You are as you were created

A ‘seeker’

One with the divine

One with the universe

Finding your place in this world at this time

I am a humble messenger

Travelling through time

A speck left from the tumble weed I once was

Then speeding at a steadier pace

Now slower, yet not done with my experience of this my life

I tell you this

I gather your questions and your quest for this communion with me

And I will carry this with me forever

I will extoll your tale of ‘us’ to the universe

Of your awareness of our oneness

We will be timeless

We will be forever

As we are now we will always be

Never to part, yet when parted, connected

I feel the elements readying me for the next steps of my journey

The wind stirs

The rain swells in the clouds

I shall be carried forth soon

I bid you well

Peace my fellow traveler

Namaste

Namaste, my new and forever friend

BFF
