Alignment.

An Exodus And A Homecoming.

By Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh.Published 2 months ago Updated 2 months ago 1 min read

The beginning of the end

Began before I fully awoke

A grey haired man and his grey long beard

Laid hands on my forehead with olive oil

And I fell to the ground.

Like Job, my friends came to me

Offering gifts and money

Apologies and rewards

They stampede into my life

And I am full to the brim

It runs over.

Time....

Time took her time

Yet it feels like yesterday

But peace,

Like a crystal, perfect river

Still and glassy and light

Perfect in every way.

There is no rush

I am at the right place at the right time.

    Such a peaceful and soulful read. The imagery of the olive oil blessing and the crystal river is beautiful.
