The Encouragement

Could it be
possible that each
of us is

the Christ child,

divine infants swaddled
in mangers
of awareness,

of welcoming
Light,

birthing our
pure belonging?

Arriving here
to show, not save,

people of the world

how to save
themselves,

how to open
minds, hearts

and bodies stiff
with fear,

against all odds,

to Love?
