There is a hunger for intimacy
a longing for oneness
twisting and turning
spiraling
between stomach and chest
between hearts,
between you and me;
this is an awareness
(perhaps),
that we were once all
that single breath
that single mass
that single energy
that God spoke
into existence,
and it was,
spiraling
across the Universe
as it unfolded
expanding
into a trillion infinite
potentialities and dreams
a multiplicity of possibility
flying apart
yet never forgetting
the memory of oneness
achings at the quantum core
that still search and yearn
for their place of be-longing.

by Kristin Jack, who lived with his family for 17 years in Cambodia. From his book Poetry and Prophecy
