The Good News

What if our purpose in life is only

What we are - and not just

What we aspire to do?

So many people are searching for their 

Life purposes

As have I

In order to feel like we are 

Good People

Caring, worthy, and kind

We seem to need to measure ourselves

Against some criteria, some 

Observational data, and

Evaluate our actions

What if we gave up 

Let go of

The belief

That we must perform well

In order to be lovable or

Loved?

What if just by being

As we are, who we are

That is all that we need

All that our world needs

All that any Divinity seeks?

Not to take tasks off the table

Not to assume we don’t need 

And want to care about and for others

(And, ourselves)

But, what if we didn’t push ourselves

So Hard

Because we think we are not

Inherently or innately

Good Enough?

An old religious story tells us 

We need to punish ourselves

Or atone for our sins somehow

Get saved from who we are

(And, sure we all make mistakes

But maybe…)

What if we wake up each day feeling

Bathed in love and peace and grace

And walk into our worlds

(Or stay at home)

Exuding those characteristics?

We might feel better and 

Even act better 

A long process

To disengage

To detach from our

Long held beliefs

That we are somehow

Bad, unlovable and

All alone

Fearful of death

Fearful of life

Maybe we can free ourselves

Not of being human

But from all the layers of

Judgment and beliefs

That keep us restricted and

Restrained from the

Joy and Beauty of 

Eternal Love
