Now when Jesus had been baptized
and was praying,
the heaven was opened.
—Luke 3.21
Look down
into still water
and see up
into clear heavens.
Be immersed in the depths
of the sky,
the deep earth of heaven.
They flow, they blend.
Here, your flesh of dust and breath,
of fire and water
lives—grounded,
held, opened,
immersed in the paradise
that opens and flows into the world.
There is no difference,
no separation.
Waters open, and heaven,
and your life,
and through opening,
blessed, flow.
