I am Life! Let me in!

Life is knocking on my door
Wake up! Wake up!

Didn’t you just heat up some milk?
And did you allow a moment of gratitude
for the cow, the grass, the farmer, the sunlight
the earth, the water, the transport, the supermarket
the manager, the packers, the retail assistant…
all the things that brought this milk to you
that enabled you to heat it up
that enables you to drink it?
In other words, did you appreciate Life?

How many countless moments such as this
have you mindlessly denied yourself
the natural joy of gratitude and appreciation?
feeding yourself instead
with the dissatisfaction, the depression, the anxiety
of what you perceive to be missing

I am Life
Let me in

And you will be filled to overflowing!
Not in some distant future
that you must labour yourself toward
but right now!
This instant!

Now!
