New Year's Revolution

New Year's Revolution

Higher Heart,

I lend my heart
to learn with you

To listen, hear
To look and see

Is there a universal pulse...?

Can we beat in unity...?

More than just our hearts
die if we say 'no',
every cell
that lines the banks
all being
where
our rivers flow

We reach to them
and they to us
give,
receive,
exchange --

the care baskets
the thank you notes
a thousand times every day
millions offered every year
til all are known
by name


Higher Heart,

I lend my heart
to learn with you

To listen, hear
to look and see

To discover
each other

To be helped
and held
and healed

To persist
to wait
for more to be revealed

To let go
until it is possible
and possible to know


Higher Heart,

Win us over to the power of love
Relieve our fear that love is not enough

Whether or not we know how
May we learn to trust in love

Starting now
