Day 7: Test

This is not a test

Of your faith

Or anything else 

This is not a test

Of strength or 

Anything else

You were brought 

Into this world 

To experience 

The gift of creation

Bright sunsets and 

Chocolate ice cream 

Longing, a passion

Fulfillment of dreams

The shock wave of heartbreak the gift of exhaustion and eventually sleep

This is not a test of 

Who's team you

Follow into battle

The battle of 

Us against them?

It's a false construct

We are all on the same side 

From hand of the same creator 

Custom built for unabashed wonder 

This is not a test

No grades

No points for presentation 

The false-self shudders

Cold naked exposed 

Fumbling groping hustling for meaning

Even now in utter vulnerability 

Fear of judgment looming

The clouds shift; look up!

True essence emerges

The soul is not confounded by the simplicity of connection

The sky is just so indescribably blue!

There is the touch of 

Wrinkled hands worn fingers

Calloused scarred palms.  

Warmth and light clothe the suffering 

"Walk with me 

Come home"

The frigid waves are  crashing 

(The water will get up your nose)

But Love is here; yes even here

Never leaving nor forsaking

It is in the very air you breathe

(Even if you forgot to study and circled A not D)

All of the above 

Every Time

All together

This is not a test

I repeat this is not a test
