Beyond

I believe, or at least need to believe
That god is all around all of us
That we have access to the source of all creation
Love, hope, strength
That none of us are excluded from that source connection

Beauty

It’s all around us and in each of us
Perhaps this is the most valuable belief I hold
I need to believe that there is more beyond face value
When I see cruelty or a lacking in kindness
What we see is not always the soul of a person
We may be seeing a reaction to how they have experienced life

I have seen both sincere and insincere kindness
Both hold value though
Especially if it creates a chain reaction of kindness in others

Beauty
I need to believe that each person I see holds a beautiful soul
Whether or not they live into it
This leaves space for hope in my life
Hope in humanity regardless of the outer appearance

Just as comparison can be a thief of joy
Judgement can be a thief of opportunity

Opportunity

Allowing others the chance to shine, be brave, be kind, be vulnerable, be strong, be honest, be loving, be selfless, be creative

This does not mean that enter the day uninformed or unprepared
We can create foundations of strength, wisdom, wit, and intuition
This way we are ready to create and allow opportunities for others

Beyond
There is more to me than I know
There is more to you than you know
