The ground may shift
and the weather, change
on a daily basis.
It does not matter.
The look in your eye
may have less sparkle
for a day – or more…
It does not matter.
The body might morph
into a vessel of pain
or disease…
It does not matter.
Change is everywhere.
It is not what Life is.
It is simply experience –
the classroom of Life.
Life is within
and it is everlastingly
with us
as the heart of everything –
the place of Love,
of God,
of Peace,
of Truth.
This is where we connect
and get our fuel
to endure our experiences.
Don’t allow
the pull of distraction –
or the disease
of the personal,
hold you to
all that does not matter.
What a precious waste
of Life
that is.
Your ground awaits
and patiently protects
the gifts of
Joy and Presence
which belong to
you.
