“It’s time to care; it’s time to take responsibility; it’s
time to lead; it’s time for a change; it’s time to be true to our greatest
self; it’s time to stop blaming others.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life
and the Human Experience

Its not out there
The cause of our pain
Nor the cause of our joy
Oh, the world around us can contribute
There are crazy despots
Greedy brothers
Heartless politicians
There are hateful people
And racist people
And angry people
There are people who carry guns into a movie
And people who seek to intimidate
To make up for
The holes in their souls
But in the end it all comes down to what is in inside
If there is an empty place
Where Sacred Presence should be
Where Love should be
We can sit in chairs of gold
And be scared and miserable
But when that place is filled
We can be in the midst of the worst life can bring
Cancer, death, betrayal
Pain
And have a most quiet time
In our souls
We can know
That how we walk through life
How we respond to all the chaos that surrounds us
Depends on that quiet place within
We are not helpless, powerless
God has created a safe space within each of us
“In my father’s house there are many rooms”
And from that place
out of that peace
we can live
we can care;
take responsibility; lead; create change
we can stop blaming life
we can stop blaming others.”
we know the way
we know
the
way
to be Sacred children
