Wake up.
What you seek is here,
Right under your nose—
Not off in the distance
Like you imagine,
Or pretend.
It’s right here,
If you would only see it
Instead of looking past it,
Or through it
And just see.
Open your eyes wide,
Let the light in.
See what really is.
Recognize the mirage.
See the truth.
See what matters.
Embrace it.
Live it.
Radiate your loving beauty—
Sprinkle it like glitter
Wherever you go,
So that it catches the light
And catches other folks’ eyes,
Helping them, too, to wake up.
Relephant:
Let the Light in. {Poem}
