Life Loves You: Falling Into Trust

When life feels hard, it's not always easy to place our trust in life or remember our connection to something greater than us. I hope this short poem with music brings some sweet relief and restores your sense of trust in life itself.

Transcript

Somehow,

There is this air to breathe.

The leaves turn and the season shifts.

Our eyes close and the body's energy restores.

This heart beats.

Blood flows and organs function.

Somehow,

The birds make their nests.

Chicks appear.

The seed,

Loved and watered,

Grows food to feed hungry mouths.

Planet Earth exists.

Somehow,

The broken bone heals.

Day turns to night and night to day.

The stars shine.

The sun shines.

Rain falls.

Wind blows.

Somehow,

The bees make honey.

The man and woman merge and new life begins.

Grace everywhere.

And yet,

Somehow,

This is not proof enough for us.

We who seem to believe life is against us and that we must fight to make it through.

What difference it would be to know that this is not so.

That life is for us in every way,

And not even for us but is us and we it.

What difference it would be to wake with the feeling of life's generous hand beneath our cheek,

Lifting us gently,

Gently.

What difference it would be to know our pain as a gift wrapped in unlikely paper,

Every experience lovingly tailor-made for the evolution of our own soul.

What difference it would be to trust so wholeheartedly that we would fall deeply in love with all that is,

However it is,

For as long as it is so.

I knew this trust only when I came to know my true self.

The one that is here beyond body and mind and all things external.

The one that is the empty stillness existing before all things are formed.

The one without story,

Identity,

Or belief.

The one that knows no labels.

The one that is always here observing quietly,

Quietly the dance of life.

I tell you it is safe,

With hand on my heart,

It is safe to trust this life.

Wake with the feeling of its generous hand beneath your cheek,

Grace everywhere.
