What Is Forever–and Now
All things work together so well
there is neither heaven nor hell
but a cosmic community
which has a special place for me.
I’m a cog in a magic gear
which is working both now and here.
The Tao might be the proper name
for what unites this magic game.
Whether we call it God or gods
there’s something controlling the odds.
Both real and intangible things,
as a part of all happenings,
join with love and aspiration
in a cosmic integration.
