TO BE & BECOME

I rarely address current issues directly unless they provide an example for my preferred focus, that is, what’s going on in our heads and hearts that creates the blueprint of our response to life around us. Today’s poem focuses on that deeply transformative space in each of us and why it’s so valuable to be in touch with it, spend time with it, and listen for its wisdom.

TO BE & BECOME

Our stillness within, 

that deep space in each of us, 

as huge, as vibrant, as evolving

as the universe without,

is the perfect place,

in this perfect moment,

to be and become, 

to be and become strong, 

to be and become soft, 

to be and become courageous, 

to be and become forgiving, 

to be and become hopeful, 

to be and become kind, 

to be and become compassionate, 

to be and become resolute, 

to be and become loving, 

to be and become thoughtful, 

to be and become thankful, 

to be and become playful, 

to be and become joyful, 

to be and become generous, 

to be and become creative, 

to be and become mindful, 

to be and become heartful,  

to be and become whole, 

to be and become 

our own holy.
