Just Being

5/14/11

This is only reason necessary

for anyone, anywhere to receive

love, adoration, all goodness bestowed

upon them as overriding abundance,

with nutritious food on plate,

roof overhead providing weather protection

in environment that exudes beauty,

surrounded by healthy caring community

where individuals share skills, talents,

as gifts to greater 'whole'

which freely feeds everyone's spiritual,

physical, mental, and emotional needs

while all do their best

to live in interdependent harmony

celebrating cultural and ancestral diversity,

honoring forces of masculine, feminine,

individually dancing, yet melding together,

becoming divine marriage between opposites,

paradoxical yin, yang, soft, hard,

and white, black, wrong, right,

it's witnessing shadow, light interplay

seeing ourselves as inextricably woven

together with Nature, Source, Universe,

no less than Moon, Stars,

this blue-green Earth that rewards

all Existence for just being.
