As I start today
I ponder the ways I can be of use to the world
I look all around me
and then I look inside

I choose not to hide
or divide
but to be within
looking at the world from the inside
with my Friend who draws me near

From there I see
a place to start
from the heart
with me

The awareness of how I will be
is more important
than letting my surroundings
and all that happens therein
define me

Being purposefully connected
to the One Source
allows for a delay switch in my reaction
so that I may react instead
to whatever occurs
from a higher mind

And as I look upon creation
I see a different sight in that light
a place not so cold and barren
but holy with possibility
