Yes or No to Life

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, November 12, 2000

 

Every moment is a yes or no to life,
a let it be, or let it be damned
we utter from the furthest reaches
of our consciousness that makes
all the difference in how holy
our lives will be.

Every time we cross another blessed soul
we choose to love, or choose to hate,
to connect souls or build a wall,
see a brother/sister or a robber in disguise--
we choose whether or not
we will greet God’s love with a kiss of new life.

This little speck of energy we each are
created no vast galaxies or whirling constellations:
yet we are light from light and spirit from spirit
and hold within our souls the power
to create consciousness and reality from will.
So we create so many smaller worlds--
worlds of each moment, each day, each love;
worlds in their own ways empires
of our immortal, eternal souls.
