SHOWING UP (Poem)

SHOWING UP
231115 be


The most important thing you can do
To make sure that your life counts
Is to show up, to be there
Then what is for you won't go by you
Showing up is the key

Showing up, regardless of what you feel like
A warrior, or a broken mess
Maybe a bit of both, showing up nonetheless
The tenacity, the determination
To see your calling through

In a balanced state of mind
Returning to your trees, to fulfill your dharma
Not to do as you please
To find a way, every day
To make sure your life counts

Leaving your bed, feet to the floor
Showing up, nothing more
Being there for others, being there for yourself
To be ready to take action
Is the way to health and wealth

Not disobedient to the heavenly vision
Mistakes you'll make, life won't be dull
By showing up you'll have a life that's full
A warrior or a broken mess
Showing up nonethelessĀ
