Your task is not
To fix the world
You are not called
To change your brothers and sisters
You are merely asked
To love God and your fellows
As God has loved you
AS GOD HAS LOVED YOU

We worry about
Losing our wealth
And forget from where
True wealth comes
We fear the loss
Of our freedom or dignity
But have already lost
Our connection
To the source
Of freedom and dignity
TO THE SOURCE

What if every ray of sunshine
Drop of rain
Bird chirping
Child laughing
Tear, smile, or sigh
Is actually a wink from God
Waiting for you to be attentive enough
To wink back
WAITING FOR A WINK

I want the world to stop fighting
I yearn for peace
I pray for the transcendence
Of petty conflict
And yet I know
That I know nothing
My words are simply
More noise and distraction
YEARNING FOR PEACE

You do not have to know
Where you are going
You simply have to trust
The one you follow
And that you will
Not be led astray
NOT LED ASTRAY
