Bright Space
by Dane Allred


Unity
There is a brightness we can feel when we work in unity.
The space between us becomes brighter
We feel more as one
The work draws us together in a way
Nothing else can produce.

Working side by side with another someone
A someone we knew from the bright space
But had forgotten
Had lost
And had to rediscover again
Brings back that light we knew with that someone.

That someone we turned to in that long ago and far away
And said to each other,
“We are together now,
And we are all that ever is, ever was, or ever will be.”

But we both knew there was another way
For us to learn all there is to know
To experience all there is.

Alone, apart from each other, we could explore and discover all we could not know
If we stayed in that bright space together.

So now, as I stand by you, and you stand by me,
We are apart, but are still one.
That bright space is in me
And that bright space is in you.
And we feel the connection we had lost.

The recognition of that light we see in each other’s eyes,
That we see in the eyes of everyone who is anyone who is anywhere
Sparks that light again
And as we toil we remember
We are here to help each other learn all we can
We are here to learn all we can
We are striving to learn all there is to learn
As we spin in our separate spheres
Until that time we rejoin with that bright space
And are as one again.

All experience
All sadness
All happiness
All joy
All things will be joined again as one

And then we will truly feel the unity
The oneness we feel now when working side by side
On this marble we call Earth
Which speeds through space
Carrying all of us to that final destination.

That bright space where we will be one.
