We Forget We Are Sacred

We forget that we are sacred beings made up of intentional heartbeats, of divine breath, of souls kissed with wonder, and steps light in our power.

We are made up of eyes that see magic and mouths that taste hope, ears that hear angels in the everyday bird-singing, children-playing, lives-living world.

And so we turn our hearts to stone, move our breath too quickly through our bodies, never pausing to recognize the subtle movement of

Instead, we breathe busy and work and endless things we think we have to do because we do not know that we are free, and powerful and divine.

We don’t recognize the divinity of others, and so we treat them like the cashier ringing our groceries, rather than a precious soul our soul meets along the way.

We treat them like a woman in line with too many items in the self-checkout, instead of grace-filled and miraculous.

Like a man waiting at the crosswalk while we are rushing to the next place, like he is not heaven-sent and holy.

Like a child who asks too many questions whose essential magic is lost on us.

We worship all the wrong things, like the light from the television and the music from our earbuds, the nicer car and larger houses, more presents than we can fit under the tree, and piles of paper money.

Then there is time, how it feels like it hangs heavy on our hands or else slides through our hands, like so much sand. We never get enough of it.

One day we were 5 and delighted by the playground swing and another day 15, pleased by nothing more than the smile from the boy we wish would kiss us, and at 25 and wondering when our lives begin- unaware that the answer is now, and always. And 35, wondering where it all went because it feels like so much less ahead than behind.
