The Call

The universe is expanding
conscious, breath-taking, infinite
It’s heartbeat
resonating and rumbling in my chest

My soul accepts the invitation
and expands
with exhilaration, anticipation and love

I am scared
and in awe

I am a reflection of the infinite
an echo of spirit

I am a pebble thrown in the pond
creating ripples of reflection
remembering the sparkle and wonder of the stars
sharing, teaching, revealing
glimpses of eternity, purpose and love

I am a call to follow your heart
remember your destiny
to revel in-spirit, love and happiness
to help create a more loving, peaceful and connected planet.

And as I sit here in reflection, I realize that I saw God today.  It doesn’t get any better than that.
