IT IS TIME FOR ALL OF US TO RISE AND SHINE THE LIGHT OF LOVE
“We are living through the best of times
And the worst of times and it is time
For the good to rise and shine the
Light of love for all to see….”
Everything hard that happens
In my life is only meant to
Break the egg of pure consciousness
And push my heart wide open again.
All those years of pain and hurt,
Which seemed to never have an end,
Have caused some parts of me to
Become bruised, broken and endarkened.
We are living through the best of times
And the worst of times which seem
To be beyond our control as dark
Forces threaten to cover everything.
But that is only the way it seems—
It is always darkest just before the dawn…
For when I become still enough in prayer
I hear the Divine whispering in my heart:
“My son, it is time to rise—
It is time for everyone whose soul longs
For the higher way and the good of all to
Rise up now and make their voices heard for the
Good have the power to set this world alight.”
Everything hard that has ever happened
To me was always meant to be
A way to break my heart open to caring
And teach me how to live from Love—
Tapping the power of Love alone,
As one who becomes pure Love in life,
In full expression and action, always doing
As much good as I can every day
To be Love in the world and do my part
In helping as many as I can find their way out
Of the dark into the light in the sweet and
Certain knowing that “the sun will always rise again.”
