I CHOOSE THE WAY OF LOVE AND LIGHT
I do not want to be trapped in pain
And disempowered by my own mind—
I do not want to be resistant to all
The goodness and love which
Is flowing into my life now, like
Rain falling on a hot and thirsty desert
Or allow myself to sink into the despair
And darkness stalking me like hungry wolves.
I know all my suffering is a gift
Wrapped in hurtful strings and that
In order not to be torn by those sharp fangs
I must choose and choose again
To rise above all the darkness
And make my time a shining space
Of loving, positive and well directed
Energy emanating from my heart’s core…
And if I am able to do this as I must,
Then I open the door to doing good,
Being good, demonstrating good—
In inspiration, revelation and exaltation…
Because the truth is—consciousness flows
In the directions and channels I choose
For myself in alignment with the Divine—
And I choose life, I choose light
And I choose eternal unconditional Love.
