The Joy of Being Free
There is a grandeur to life that we cannot really comprehend.
Good things happen without warning, and they do not wait.
While we hope to be virtuous, virtue asks us what we can do.
A passing thought or anxiety is wiped away by beautiful reality.
A kiss, precious and immutable, reminds me that I’m still here.
Another day, another set of the consequences of my actions.
Looking onward, we see ourselves being reflected in everything.
A tree and a mountain and a stream all reveal beauty to me.
Beauty becomes the moment, and the moment saturates my life.
I am nothing but a series of moments, all interconnected and true.
Let me be, O Lord, and let me become the person I ought to be.
For it is time to be better, free from the torment of self-induced guilt.
A beautiful time and another time are only separated by our own thoughts.
Let us be free in the NOW, the reality gracefully being here with us all.
Thank you.
