Do not sit staring into the darkness overlong
Do not gaze into the abyss so long that you become embittered
Leave it now, take the hand of the Divine One and be led
Through deepest forests where the scent of pine is fresh and cool,
Along white beaches with the sand warm beneath your feet,
Climb to the mountain peaks and gaze in wonder at the earth below you,
Stand on rocky cliffs and allow the majesty of the sea to remind you,
Life is not all turmoil and drudgery; it is not meant to be so bleak and joyless
Do not let these dark days bind you, enslave you, consume you
Do not drown in the toxic waters of hate; of unforgiveness
Come, be filled with a new life of joy and well-being
Rest from your worries and the endless, wearisome, ongoing fight
Be nurtured, for the battle will rage on long after your life is spent
What will you choose today, for you have been given freedom of thought
Honor this life you’ve been given and look up, away from the darkness
Look upon the infant’s face or gaze into the eyes of the old ones, filled with wisdom
Hold the hands of your loved ones and know you have not been abandoned
Take this day and rest from your sorrows and the ongoing battle
Know the Divine One is here at your side to uphold you, to comfort you in your pain
Know you are never, ever alone, even through these dark and painful days,
And take leave of this great abyss to which you’ve been ensnared
Be joyful today and remember who you are, who you have been created to be:
A blessing, a benediction to a suffering world in travail and be, just be
For you are part of the beauty created and recreated today and every day
Be recreated today. Be reborn in love, in peace, in joy, in all that is good.
Come, now, look no further into the abyss. Look up, my dear ones, look up!
