A Door: Behold!
As has been told, so we shall do,
for here is our sacred home,
and the means to proceed forward.
A door may both bar and beckon:
Behold!
Thus united and secured
we may defend or advance.
We are kept well ~ and loved,
with special care made to flourish.
Let us strive now to take hold,
for we are in her hands~
she raises us up and instructs us.
Let us swell like the gathering rivers,
for upon us depends this inheritance.
We are lifted up on its foundations,
and may see, flowing all around us,
the great source ~ the breath of life.
Now from here, the command is to go forth:
even so ~ through the narrowest of ways,
and upward thus to the foremost summit.
Rejoice!
For the way has been shown.
