Turning Point
When everything is lost
we realize there is something
that cannot be lost.
Something we have never seen
or touched,
something we cannot name
but we can feel.
It leads us on.
A resilience comes from somewhere else
and we know we can make it —
because there is no other choice
than to rebuild and start again.
But it is not from scratch.
Our depths have been challenged
and we will never be the same.
And when a community
shares this experience
there is no telling
where it will lead.
