Carry On! Poem by Alla Bozarth

You are more
than the sum
of your ancestors.
From your parents
you inherited
a biological legacy
and you received
the invitation
to be born.

To them you owe
your life
and nothing more.
The rest is You.

You came here
a soul fresh hot
from the Heart of God,
rounded out by your own
eternal mysteries.

You came here
with your own
innocence
and wisdom,
your own capacity
for compassion,
your own genius
for being alive.

Over the course
of your lifetime
you will be given
countless opportunities
to discover and develop
the sum of these gifts
to the best of your ability.

You must stay alert
and be aware of these moments
of Grace when they come,
sit down with them or
run or fly with them
to fulfill your potential
for Life and Completion.

Every day, you can be
God's dream coming true.

Your being
becomes you,
Dear One.
Carry on!
