Amazing Grace
How amazing to contemplate the intricate
Beauty of the Universe.
Our lives surrounded by everyday miracles
we often take for granted.
From the fragrant essence of a flower,
to the perfect synchronicity of body and mind,
breathing in and out,
together, seemingly without effort.
Lost in a world of struggle,
we see from eyes limited by shadows.
Judging situations by an endless litany of words,
right, wrong, good, bad.
Hoping to evade what lies before us
without accepting what truly is.
Gazing outwardly, denying responsibility
for these life lessons.
No one desires suffering, yet somehow it comes
despite concerted efforts to hide.
Leaning into jagged edges,
centered, without judgement.
Choosing not to run,
may be our only saving grace.
Unknown to us
the reasons of how or why.
The masterpiece of our journey
not to be seen in its entirety.
We must trust there is beauty
with every stroke of life's brush.
For surely the Spirit
so efficiently guiding the Universe,
is also the same energy from
which we are born.
Making our lives as miraculous
as the most perfect flower.
In Peace ~ Raven
