Are You Ready?

Are You Ready? 

Ready for thee unexpected?
Perhaps a new success
Or failure,
Like the fortune cookie said,
Your hearts desire or
Thy spiritual awakening.
Fully conscious of the potential of our souls
Imagine
Enlightenment, or a huge step in that direction.
A new year
The world, an unexpected wonder filed with
Unexpected beauty, joy and pure fun.

Worshipful New Year's eve at Mattapoisset Friends;
A pleasant drive with my best friends.
Along 6a lights in Sandwich,
Large figures of what a child called fairy lights;
A fireman with hose, another a wrench.
A family and a large heart.
A friend drops by,
The mystery unfolding
Light returns so quickly,  amazing.
One week,
Flood lights in Eden’s parking at 5,
The next 4:30 still a faint sunset in the sky.

Those things that we are resigned to,
Not optimal but fine
Turn into an expected blessing
In a blink of the eye.
The light breaks through and then
Lights, camera, action.
Things are waiting
We are on hold
Waiting,
Waiting, then whoosh
Like a door being opened
Truth is reveled,

Nothing hidden
What if you or I got something major wrong?
What If they were right?
Can we be sure
If we have been fooling ourselves?
How will this Truth feel,
Will "oops, I'm sorry" work?
In life or death
Ready?
Ready or not
Here we come
Or go.

But then total understanding,
forgiveness.
A knowledge,
It's all okay,
Peace
At least with you.
You are Loved.
We are Loved.
Always have, always will be,
As it was in the beginning
Now and forever,
World without end.

So for 2014
May peace prevail and this new time of year
Be bright for everyone with renewed Light,
May our journey be free of fear
being Spirits that soar beyond the night

May things that need repair be repaired
With change happening as You will
May the struggle for justice be dared
With courage to climb that hill

May Joy and Beauty abound
May Peace encompass the earth
May Love be our fertile ground
And we be part of Your new birth
