Our Place

We are not who we thought we were,

beset by helpless needs,

buffeted by forces that could grant

or else deny them,

pleading for the mercy of the fates

We are not placed here

ungrounded and bereft,

seeking to find some anchor

to afford a fleeting feeling

of belonging

We are sovereign —

The Mind we access

is the universal I Am,

with which we hold all forces

at our center, with our hand

With which we preside over

all the harmony of being

not pushed around by actions or conditions,

instead, ordaining them —

setting everything in place

in concert with the law that loves us all.
