His Way

29 Sep

It is so simple,
so profoundly simple.

Be kind to your neighbor;
Tell the truth.

Just two things.
Do you hear them in
the Psalmist’s voice?
But how can I be kind to my “neighbor?”
He is mean-spirited.
She is hard to like.

You choose to.
You choose.

And how can I tell truth in this
time of expanding, intentional
deception?

You choose to.
You choose.

Kindness and truth speaking
are not contingent upon
any aspect of life.

We make the choices.
We choose for or against
kindness and truth every day.
Every day.

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1
Just one at a time.
Choices are not conditional.
I am accountable.
I choose.

The voice inside me must be
stronger than the collective
voices that surround us.
There is one Voice.
One choice.
His way.
