Every step

Every step I take
Is leading me
To where
I am meant to be
When I surrender
And let life
Be
When I stop resisting
When I stop trying
To swim
Upstream
Against the tide
Of life
When I drink in all
That comes to me
And resonates deep
Within me
When I do for the good
Of all
Not for glory
Nor for adulation
But for sharing
Of my gifts
Talents
And life
With gratitude and grace
When I wake up in the morning
And feel the force of life
Entering my soul
Giving me
The gift of breath
Waking me up again
To experience
The abundance of life
The richness of us
The tapestry that
Weaves us all
Together
The interconnection
Of every action
We take
Every word
We speak
Every choice
We make
Binding us
Together
When I am grateful
For the darkness of the morning
Knowing in its silence
In its stillness
There is chaos
Necessary chaos
For from it
Order will arise
The dawn of a new day
The beginning
Because
As Robert H. Kirven says
Chaos
“Harbors an order
Or orders
Not yet discerned,
And it is the limit
Which order
Cannot violate
And
Still be order.”
Reminding me
Even in stillness
There is a buzz of activity
Of life
Regenerating itself
Passing on
Giving back
Spreading and sharing
To make space for
The new day
The next generation
The next crop
To perpetuate our existence
Most times minuscule
To the human eye
But
Giant 
To the human consciousness
Offering me the gift
Of knowing
Chaos
Is a necessary part of life
Because from chaos
Springs
Hope
Faith
Love
Gratitude
Because
It is only
In the midst of chaos
That we become
Disordered
Disoriented
Turned upside down
In order
That we may shake loose
Of the limitations of our minds
To expand beyond
What is known
To the unknown
To embrace
The uncertainty
To know certainty again
To keep moving
With the rhythm of life
The beat of the human heart
The vibration of the Universal Force
Allowing us
To be part of
The dance of life
Ebbing and flowing
Swaying back and forth
Side to side
One step at a time
So we understand
We are all in this
Together
Unified in our desire
For life
For sharing
For breath
For understanding
Acceptance
Gratitude
And Grace
Namaste
