I AM

I AM the mother who holds you close.
I am the father who guides you.
I am the sister who giggles with you.
I am the brother who protects you.

I AM the child you rock in your arms.
I am the puppy that nips at your heels
I am the neighbor that lives next door.
I am the waitress in the restaurant

I AM the sun that warms you.
I am the dark of night.
I am the moon that phases through your life.
I am the stars that twinkle overhead.

I AM the trees that sway in the wind.
I am the flowers that bloom at your feet.
I am the stone you skip across the sea.
I am the rainbow traversing your sky.

I am the words you speak
I am the songs you sing
I am the pictures you paint
I am al of creation.

I AM All-That-Is
I am present in everything
I am present in everyone
I AM you
together
We are All-That-Is.

Chalice of Love

I offer love to you
from the chalice of the heart
doesn’t matter who you are
man or woman, rich or poor
black or white, young or old
I offer this chalice of love to you.

My heart spills over
with the joy of life
and fills the chalice
with wine so rich
join me in sipping
from this cup
getting drunk
on the ecstasies of love.

It’s the great mystery
how love heals all
but it’s true
I tell you now
with a drop of love
wounds can mend
with understanding
wars can end.

Accept this gift
graciously given
there’s no payment
this cup is free
all that I ask of you
is to receive it
and when you’re ready
please pass it on.

Pass this cup of sweet, sweet wine
from your hand to another
as we all drink from this chalice of love
One people, One heart.
