This Life




You can’t make this life what it is not.
But you can plant seeds and watch
what blooms under your feet.

The field you create will feed your soul.
The life you create will feed the soul of the world.

You are grace rising to grace.
You are a part of a larger field of being not of your making,
but in it you dance and dance and become and become…

The dance you dance is in Life’s embrace.
And as you embrace Life you enlarge Its soul.

No, you can’t make this life what it is not.
But you can open the gates to all that lives within,
release the thousands of winged things.
