My People...Hold On

Sep 5

Written By Viveka Om

It is only right now that we have choices.

Past choices are beyond our reach.

Future's choices aren't ours to make.

Love arises out of grace.

Pain, hurt, hatred, and harm

are the invitation to meeting

life's process of opening hearts.

We are equal participants in this world,

but we do not all participate equally.

Even the light of the sun fluctuates,

but it is enough to give rise to life on this planet.

Beyond conditioning and

identification with separateness

as we open to possibility

choices are available.

May we be humble and wise enough to choose.
