A song I recently fell in love with………….
New View
Concentrate your eyes upon the heaven’s stars
The towering boughs of the cedar tall
The cascading blue of yesterday’s sky
See equally bright tomorrow
Spend less on what ifs and more on what is
Pretend you are a child
Until you see you are a child
Caravan with strangers
Smile at yourself
The similarities of all
Risk like you never dreamed possible
Dive in before you remember you know how to swim
Believe like there is no other truth than that in front of you
And then release as easily as you grasped
Forget the wrong doings of others
Better yet, forget the essence of wrong
In equal measure remember that right varies in reflection
Be at peace with your heart and intention
Whenever you are out of sorts seek justice and truth
Make yourself the other
View through the eyes of an innocent
Untouched by the ways of the world
Still breathing in the womb of discovery
Incapable of forming thought beyond love
Take time to prepare your fields
Whatever the crop you grow
Fertilize with tenderness
Honor with waters of forgiveness
Circumvent oppression with awareness
Untether thy soul to resentment
Instead set free to the open
Where the wind can carry
Beyond words
And beyond experience
Release forever
Unless attached to eternal hope and renewal
For everything changes
Then comes again
Refreshed
In new view
