Dare to be aware

Dare to be aware

Aware of peace

Dare to be aware

Aware of love

Dare to be aware

Aware of beauty

Dare to be aware

Aware of creativity

In the morning  when we wake

We become aware of all duties lying ahead

We need breakfast; to go to the toilet;

We need to get ready to go to work;

Become aware of the quarrels we had;

Of all the problems we face;

Aware of our fears and worries.

And our awareness of the peace

That surrounds us is blurred

And the awareness of the love

in our heart is blurred

And the awareness of the beauty

of the skies and trees is blurred

And the awareness of creativity

roaming in our imagination is blurred.

Oh my, let me tomorrow morning

Dare to put aside

the small things that anger me

The small things that worry me

The small things that cause fear

The small duties that await me

And let me dare to be aware

Of the sea of peace

Of the ocean of love

Of the expansion of beauty

Of the endless creativity

That is here right now for me.

And will likely be here tomorrow morning too…
