Not as the World Gives

Born in sorrow

Grown in chaos

We struggle to find love

To leave the world a little better

To give away something of ourselves

In hopes of showing just one person

The value of silence in times of confusion

            Of holding on for one more day.

Wise in pain

With suffering a friend

Comes our Beloved

With comfort and with courage

The lord of our quantum dance

Along the lines of probability

To teach us how to find each other

            Finding Him

***************************

There is no more wonderful thing in this life than conscious contact with God.  It is worth every effort, any sacrifice.  Many teachers have come my way, some of them people who I felt at the time were terrible people; people who hurt me or someone I love.  Some were and are truly holy people who leave me in awe of their simplicity and single-heartedness in the pursuit of God's will.   Today I am grateful for all of my teachers and ask God's blessing on every one.
