I am a precious occurrence,

and I don't have long.

We are a precious occurrence.

And as long as we think we have,

we don't have long.

Too much time is being spent,

running

from face to face,

asking:

"What is my name?"

If you don't yet know it,

~or if you've forgotten~

then become still, go within

and answer it.

You are a Precious Occurrence:

Tell Us your name.

Give yourself

a beautiful name.

You are 

Light

playing

the human game.

Brighten each word

and

flame your heart—

didn’t you know?

You

are

God’s

art

.

*The above poem was inspired by a short quote from Gabrielle Roth in her book "Maps to Ecstasy", where she cites: “In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: "When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”  The above poem that bloomed from these sacred words that Gabrielle reintroduced into current-day culture, received her blessing prior to her passing (February 4, 1941 – October 22, 2012).
