PRECIOUS
We forget that life Is precious and miraculous Until it is threatened We take it for granted As though imagining ourselves Invincible and eternal Our pomp and pride Our self aggrandizement Belie our forgetfulness But life is bigger than us An unstoppable momentum And an uncontrollable wave It can stop us in our tracks Bring us to our knees Remind us That life is precious and miraculous And worthy of cherishing No one’s life is more worthy Than anyone elses Each one exactly the same In the eyes of God The trick is to remember all this All the time Without it being threatened.
Love to your heart
