The Game

(..of Life)

The Game

Come play with me
Oh, you already are
You see
You are not that flesh and bone
You are the spirit
Animating it!
Eternal players are we
We have been many things
We have been ach others
Lovers
Mothers
Fathers
Brothers
Children
Siblings
We have been
All things
To each other

Look around
We have been playing
For Millennia
Have you not felt it?
That connection?
Look around?
Those we have surrounded ourselves with
Stirs something deep within
Otherwise they would not be here
Tonight
Today
All moments of the game are sacred
And special


So asks yourselves
Why me
Why him
Why her
Why now
What have we come to play
With one another
What gifts have we for one another?
What lessons?
What are we giving
What are we receiving?

But most importantly
Is to remember
To Love
To forgive
To have fun
None of which
Can happen without growing…
No matter how it may seem
To you…

Enjoy the presence
Of your eternal playmates…
For even the ones who anger you
For even the ones who frustrate you
For even the ones who you hate
Have sacrificed
At a higher level
Their happiness,
For your growth…
So true enemies
True nemesis
Horrible monsters
And aggravators
Love you,
More than you can imagine
This is why
Buddha
And Christ
And Gandhi
And King
Smiled at their own deaths
They were the greatest of players
See this game of life
We all play
Through their eyes


Namaste'
