You begin to realize this life you live
Is precious
This love you have to give
Is divine
This grace that fills the room
Is heaven sent
And that you my dear
Are worth another day
You accept that the
Devastation
Destruction
Depletion
Despair
Was real
That it happened
Without
Minimizing the pain
Diminishing the impact
Avoiding the reality of what happened
I pray this is the year God doesn’t have to make me miserable to move me
I pray this year He doesn’t have to blow things up to get me to step up
This is the year I want to go after God not because I’m hurt
But because I’m hungry
I sat beside the bed of a man whose soul had gone beyond the veil
He spoke in parables
And asked questions only those whose soul was being tested would think to ask
And the wisdom was this
There is no need to toss and turn with whatever slice of the bread of life you have
He shared a message stressing the importance or knowing
who you are
whose you are
and what’s within you
You are a child of God
You are the muse which inspired a new life
You are pure potential remembering their path and their claim in this world
There is no need to prove equality
There is no need to keep counting costs
He told me
The world is inherently imbalanced
But what brings things into rightness
Is not the actions of others
But your sense of balance and right regard within yourself
