Let This Moment Linger

There is power in human connection

there is joy in human love

there is beauty in human frailty

and transcendence in human suffering

we can acknowledge the humanity

in each person that we meet

we can honor their journey

and offer them respect

we each carry within us

a piece of the divine

we can each choose to access

the best we have to give

we can go through life asleep

or we can wake to something real

we can react to the stimuli

or choose what to feel

to err is human

to live is divine

to be fully engaged

in the wonders of life

brings peace

be aware

and wherever you are

be there

be conscious and thoughtful and kind

let compassion

be the reason

your heart rules your mind

let your prayers

and meditations

be filled with thanksgiving

let this moment

linger

let your spirit

sing

now is everything
