Awaken

In this moment of history when
both the  corona virus
and
uncertainty
present themselves,
I invite us to look to the image of
our sun for the wisdom
it teaches us.

In every second
the sun transforms four million tons
of itself to become energy
for the food
that sustains us.

Such beauty and self-giving
calls us to
AWAKEN
and to TRUST that life, itself, will
TRANSFORM US.
