Yes Mike; Yes.
You are so, so right.
I really, really do appreciate this poem.
It's great
and
The message is clear.
Praise God!

Quote:

Whether I'm feeling as if under the scope
Or am, myself, making it hard on another to cope
I'm playin the game of me, me, me
Instead of livin' the light of our We

In Truth
We
Are that we Are
Beyond and behind the concept of our love "from or off afar"
We Are that we Are

Even as we would, marginally or of enormous proportions, disdain
By claiming
We are not
That which we Are
Still, it's not the case

And yet it is this very belief in we, as not
That strengthens our "case" in feeling debased
That leads to our Home forgot

So what is this, our Home?
That can be forgotten but not lost
Have we not shelter and food and friends right here where we're at?
Need we look any further than that which we've got?

Well, yes and no

When we would hurridly tell another where to go
Instead of peaceably honoring where their at
Or who it is that he or she is
As it pertains in our thinking to something or someone amiss
Instead of freeing the weeds from the soil
Of our own seed bearing lot
Which is excitedly awaiting the moment we choose our begot

Then it is precisely this unwillingness to cultivate and nurture our own plot
That leads to belief in sorted lots

And though this is but a plot, a play, a game we play
Still, we're not playing our most funfilled game
In the fullest of ways
Like children celebrating the day
If we have yet to release the thought of "same-same, different day"

It isn't same-same
For even if we don't claim our inherent way
Of newness, aware and unafraid
We're still renewed
Not the same, now, as in any other previous time, night or day

Just as no snowflake is the same
Neither are our moments because within our "changlessness" is dynamic change
Just as within our hectic fray is the stillness of our Deep Unchanged
Unblaming and unblamed

And so it is
That in the Now we can finally find
Instead of continually seek
The found in our life

And this is true Power
That lifts up you and I and all sisters and brothers
That speaks of, and Sees
That Feels
The Upliftment in another

Exchanging destructiveness for Constructiveness
Insensitivity for Creativity
And all fear based lies
For the truth of a love created life

This is us, Alive
