Who We Are Inside

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, December 15, 2002

We live this message most deeply
by living it most simply;
not in ostentatious gesture
or in grand design, but honestly,
directly, by being ourselves
to the very depths of our beings.

We were not made to skim about
on the surface of the world forever,
spending all our hours locked in combat;
buying and selling the wares and dreams
of others; rather, we were made
to live-- in the rich, ripe fullness
of all that entails.

When we are most alive,
we are most in harmony
with the Divine Plan.
When we answer
the Call of the Soul,
the Admonition of the Heart,
we’ll know who we are.
We’ll know then, too, who it is
our Creator intended us to be.

In the meantime, we can drift about,
feeling the confusion, the loss,
the very complication of it all.
Then at last comes time to sleep, to rest,
to awaken again in a deeper peace,
a deeper place; awake at last with God,
in love, in life, in the holy simplicity,
the divine miracle of who we are inside.
