Monday Morning Meditation

Of all the people who ever lived and

Of all those who will come after

You were chosen to be you

Actually; you chose this; you chose yourself

Washed in the waters of forgetfulness

Through the existential rift you emerged

Have you travelled far?

Have you seen many things?

Or have you just begun to “see”

The path before you; or a space in between

Where you came from and where you are going

Guided by currents under a map in the stars

Do you die every night

When you surrender to sleep

Only to be reborn; fueled by dreams already forgotten?

Push back against your wistful remembrances

Forget your dead self and cast off anew

Into today with infantile wonder

And never fear; for as far as you’ll wander

Along or adrift; you will never be lost

Because I will be watching; calling you back home

I am the current; and I am the stars

And I am the reason; and I am the one

And I am in you as you are in me

From the beginning until the end; and then, again
