to be Alive
is to be surrounded
by Mystery
and immersed
in Beauty

in every Moment
of every Day

I can see it
or not
but either way
it remains
True

so I choose
to swim
in a Sea
of Stars

and walk
in the company of
Awe and Wonder

because Perspective
shifts my Experience
and shapes
my Reality

Circumstances
remain the same
Darkness sometimes
falls around me

but I am
better prepared
to face such Challenges
when I remember
that I am Connected
to Awesome

and so are You
and so are we All

We are made
of Stardust
and the DNA
of our Ancestors

so I choose
to Savor
this Amazing Life
as the Gift
that it is

-Roger Lynn
