Claire's Corner: For All Our Children

Poetry from Claire Sylvan’s book, Turnings

For All Our Children

Breathe deep, look around.
See how we are all connected.
We dance our lives in this teeming sea
That swirls among us.

Dive deep,
Seize the current that is your journey;
Let Life express her surging mystery through you.
Know your song, sing it for all the children

As if all our lives depended on it.
