Poem: The Purpose of Life

Listen here

Is just to be gloriously, vibrantly, radiantly alive!

Experiencing everything

Resisting nothing

Feeling into the depths and widths of breadths of what it means to be human.

The purpose of Life

Is to embrace everything it means to be human

While remembering that we are beings of Divine Breath

And stardust

The purpose of Life

Is to see Beauty

In all other Beings,

Human, animal, plant, mineral, ethereal, the planet Herself

Even when it isn’t pretty

The purpose of Life

Is to remember our shared humanity

Ubuntu

And to be curious about our differences

The purpose of Life

Is to see what connects us all,

Heart to heart,

Past the surface appearances of

What seems to separate us

The purpose of Life

Is to experience intensely through our senses

The taste of mangoes

The colours of a sunset

The softness of skin

The resonance of beautiful music

And allow it to nurture our soul

And our body

In equal measure

The purpose of Life

Is to celebrate the magic

Of Simple Things,

Like cooking a delicious meal

Laughter with friends

Hugs with the ones we love

The purpose of Life

Is to look deeply into Another’s eyes

To remind them of their own Divine connection

When they have lost their sense of who they really are

The purpose of Life

Is to sing our unique song with wild abandon

To shine our beautiful, precious

Frequency

Into the Universe

The purpose of Life

Is to live in awe

Of the miracle of being alive,

A spirit of pure Love inhabiting a human body

Breath bridging the physical with the Unseen

The purpose of Life

Is for Source to see

And celebrate

Itself

Through our eyes

The purpose of Life

Is Love
