Our Great Deeds
Our great deeds do no make us great or safe.
They reveal.
They are a testament to an innate truth.
Claiming our greatness is not fame.
Fame is the reminder.
It is an image on a mirror:
A reflection.
Look through the glass, through the darkness,
Face to face.
Truth.
Not the truth that struts in our righteous postures,
And our addiction to our fine thoughts.
Rather,
The truth that weaves itself through our tragedies and triumphs,
That whispers to us in the soft folds of our heart.
When all is said and done, we will reflect upon our sojourn, and say:
“Eternity walked here.”
-Robert Waterman
