No Coming, No Going

The brothers at the monastery
sang this song to me as I left.
I was very touched.
I cried with joy.
It's so simple.
And yet
it means a lot to me.

***

No coming, no going
No after, no before
I hold you close to me
I release you to be so free
Because I am in you, and you are in me
Because I am in you, and you are in me

***

There are no real goodbyes
There are no real endings
Because I am in you
and you are in me

To my Christian friends
Happy Easter!
Remember
Be with Him
Be in Him
Because He is always with you
Because He is always in you
