Choices (Poetry to close out the week)

There is beauty in the world.

Sea and sky, meadows and forests.

This moment I will choose to magnify that beauty.

I will sing the trees and flowers.

I will paint the butterflies.

I will create equations so pure and lovely they will dance upon the wind.

I will be kind.

I will give my best.

I will be the Truth.

I will believe in the grace of Creation.

I will Walk in Beauty.

And Creation will flourish in my wake.

This day, this moment – I so choose.
