Start With A Stone

It was not in the bread
It was not in the wine,
It was not in the scroll
Or any one line.
It was not in the past
Or whatever comes next.
There it was in the places
I did not expect.

Start with a stone
The humblest of things,
From this relic of bedrock
Eternity springs.
Go back to the source
Go back to your home,
Heaven is waiting
But start with a stone.

I know it, I feel it
Like the laying of hands,
And suddenly, somehow
My whole world expands.
My vision is clear
The circle complete.
All that I needed
Right here at my feet.

Start with a stone
The humblest of things,
From this relic of bedrock
Eternity springs.
Go back to the source
Go back to your home,
Heaven is waiting
But start with a stone.

Walk for a while in your own skin.
This is the place where it all will begin.
Just take a breath, just take your time,
First you are human and then you're divine.

It all is a myst'ry
How this came to be,
From the tiniest spark
All the way here to me.
And through it all
As I've always suspected,
The past and the future
Are right here, are connected.

Start with a stone
The humblest of things,
From this relic of bedrock
Eternity springs.
Go back to the source
Go back to your home,
Heaven is waiting
But start with a stone.
