Each and Every
Sometimes we say:
“I am here,”
and that's all we can do.
It’s the best we can do
and that’s okay.
Every yes brings a smile,
each no takes us deeper ,
coming closer to awakening —
Not as permanent enlightenment.
For then the journey begins —
every experience given
to know the Self,
each rejection closer to awakening.
Suffering slows,
every acceptance becomes Grace.
Joy enlightens.
