lake of shining waters

Forever witnessing
the wondrous moment
of Now

i touch from within

i draw up life into my own two hands
knowing that whatever choice i ever could make
is divinely planned
i am a part of you
you are a part of me
we are threaded infinitely
throughout this tapestry
sublime
divine
love
incarnate
spirits in flesh

a piece of all that is
lives
inside of me
inside the temple of my heart
a light shines
illuminating
the darkness
which surrounds

all that exists
i touch from within

a world of wonder
linked to the core
of my being
breathing
speaking
love is all there is
everything else is nothing
nothing is real
reality is an illusion
fate...a divine collaboration
all paths leading toward truth
as the past looses its power
i let the present be my gift
asking for what i prefer
being happy for all things received
i give to others
that which i seek

i see everything as perfect
it is what i choose it to mean
it is the meaning that i give to it
knowing my beliefs color my experience
i choose acceptance
understanding the difference between sadness and unhappiness
the difference between observation and judgment
i release many expectations
trusting the full circle of life
and i am grateful
i am faithful
in loving myself
the shine and the shadow
though sometimes i feel broken
i continue
my story
smile
and
sing...
