Working Together

We shape our self
 to fit this world
 
 and by the world
 are shaped again.  
 
The visible
 and the invisible
 
 working together
 in common cause,  
 
 to produce  
 the miraculous.  
 
I am thinking of the way
 the intangible air
 
 traveled at speed  
 round a shaped wing  
 easily holds our weight. 
 
So may we, in this life trust
 
 to those elements  
 we have yet to see  
 
 or imagine, 
 and look for the true
 
 shape of our own self,  
 by forming it well  
 
 to the great  
 intangibles about us.
 
       - David Whyte
