That Which Rises Up

We rise up, as does everything,
with wonder and gratitude
into the fact of being,
the rich Spirit that impels us
to grow, create, connect

We rise up because we must -
it is our milk, our joy,
it is our purpose

This is the substance of which we are made -
it is always with us,
and we are always with it -
splash of brilliance
that overcomes the heat,
flash of radiance
that lights our way.
