One Drop of Love

We matter.  

Each one of us.  Our journey matters.  Our choices matter.  Each moment our life, each moment we love is a moment that pulls us all towards the light.  We can not underestimate the power of each one of us to effect the whole.    

It's the lie we tell ourselves, that we are alone, that we can not affect change, that we do not matter.  It's a lie that keeps us small and without hope.    

Stepping out from behind this lie is scary.  I know, I've been hiding just as much as you, maybe more.  

It's time to start recognizing our power instead of powerlessness.  One of my teachers used the analogy of a single drop in a pool of water.  That drop, if a distinct color, will taint the whole when added.  Each one of us is a drop, a potential drop of love, when we choose.  

ONE DROP OF LOVE

glistening on the edge of my spoon
waiting to plummet earthward,
one drop of love;
precious, powerful, yet over-looked
magnified a billion times ...
it contains
every kiss ... every glance ... every tender touch ...
millions upon millions of moments
all coalesced into a single drop
dangling precariously on the edge of this spoon
waiting  
to fall.
