Spindrift

Spindrift

Feel the awakening spray.

Put people first.
But first put this planet
and every living thing
upon a pedestal.

Your human gift
is a consciousness.
You're here to notice
the beauty of a sunset.

Take a moment to ask
from where love comes
without a great awakening
to what's welling inside you.

And don't be fooled
by the broken people
falling like dominoes,
one on top of the other.

Hoarding and bloodlust
won't prevent anyone
from one day reawakening
in the eternal union.

Go and sit somewhere
you can close your eyes.
Now imagine waves crashing
against the fallen rocks.

Feel the spindrift cooling your face.
Open your eyes when you've seen God.

There is nothing holier in this life of ours
than the first consciousness of love,
the first fluttering of its silken wings.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When we quit thinking primarily
about ourselves and our own self-preservation,
we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.
~ Joseph Campbell
