Namaste'

When shadows cast upon your path
and troubles brew upon your brow,
know that in the mind of God*
no one is holier than thou.

For each of us a purpose set, though it not be revealed;
let's share the journey on the way til each of us is healed.

Within you lies:  All the beauty, wonder, uniqueness,
peace, Light, and precious essence of Spirit, in microcosm.

It's always there, even when not remembered or felt.

Namaste'

Author notes

Prompt: "finding hope in the darkness."

Namaste' can be (like "aloha") used as a greeting and/or a departure well wishing. Very loosely translated, it means: I honor the place in you where lies your love, you Light, your beauty, your uniqueness, and your peace. I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you where, if you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.

*God: Please substitute whichever word(s) for deity or higher power work for you.
