What sustains me when all else falls away?
A beating heart. A breath.
Hope that wisdom can be found and meaning made.
Faith that the seasons and tides will go on turning.
A light within that I choose to cherish.
Putting my hands and heart to creating.
Belief in the better angels of our nature.
Belief that love is eternal and transcends death.
Belief that freedom can be won, that there is abundance for all.
Belief that life and nature can heal and be healed.
Knowledge that there is more to see and learn
around every twist in the path.
Surprises that will delight you if you let them.
Always in the dark, a choice:
To be in the dark.
Or to be in the dark and hold a candle.
To show up with a beating heart and breath, to turn towards the light,
knowing full well that you risk all falling away.
