DOT

I stand at the edge of the canyon

Admiring it’s vast and grand beauty

I am humbled by it’s greatness

For I am but a Dot.

I am a Dot and so are you.

To put it in perspective:

The period at the end of your life sentence

The decimal dividing your sense.

A moment in a few billion years

A drop of water in the ocean

A grain of sand in the desert

A fragment of universal energy

Together dots can form an image

You can see it when a picture is enlarged too big

As we live on this earth right now

We are forming our collective image

Our light selves and our shadow selves

We write our history, our speck of time

We have free will with our “dotness”

All of us

Every single human being
Red, yellow, black, brown or white

We choose what we want to do

We can celebrate hate and hold grudges

We can suffer, lament and blame others for our demise

And be lazy and wait for life to come to us

We can choose to wallow in our own darkness

OR

We can choose LOVE

Love fully with open hearts and open minds

With kindness and understanding

Forgiveness and respect - embracing our differences  

We can enjoy a full and productive life

Open our eyes and see our own beautiful light

Today I choose LOVE

For I am a Dot and free to choose

And so are you
