the days roll

by in

sequence,

like these tides…

 

the waves

and moon

they cycle.

like our flow,

the

umbilical

connection

to this

life

       we have been given

           this life

               we give

                  away.

and i wonder,

what’s next.

what is waiting to be born?

where do these simple steps lead?

 

this is a quiet transformation,

fragile gestation.

with the incubator of time

and the patience

of a saint.

or a mother.

 

mary walk with us.

 

did you have any idea what you

carried on the journey?

 

you were worthy

before the

seed of change

was

planted.

 

(mary, did you know that?)

 

did you know,

that you were worthy

just as you were.

 

that you were loved

just as you were.

not for what you did,

or who you carried,

or where you were from.

 

not in spite of what you did,

or who you carried,

or where you were from.

 

(mary, did you know that?)

 

did you know that you were chosen?

did you feel it?

 

? do you know that…

? do you feel it…

>>> say “i am worthy” and end it there, no justification or addition…

by the mere fact of our existence,

we are chosen.

we are worthy.

no more or less special.

no more or less loved.

no more or less able.

help us live into this

simple fact today.

help us to trust

that we are

worthy.

that we are

chosen.

help us to trust that new life is growing in us.
