“Heaven and earth, the Celtic saying goes, are only three feet apart, but in thin places that distance is even shorter.” Kerri Ni Dochartaigh
Connected This is a thin time where realms are unseparated, a cure for the soul's myopia long lost in binary spaces, momentarily set free, reminding that death is not the death we imagine, you are ever here, the villain of my childhood now redeemed in a hagiography, saint as sinner, sinner as saint, we are intertwined, embodied, connected.

I love every word, and can only imagine the circumstances, the haptic shift from the universal door to the very personal and small shaved down to a childhood and revision and revision, is there a realization that here we all are, all there?

Is that what happens in the crossover – the binaries blur and sinners and saints become one? Such a potent thought that demands more pondering about how we live and what the consequences are, if at all. Love this poem and that celtic quote as well!
