DON'T MOVE out of fear YES MOVE out of faith Maybe it's just easier Not to move at all DON'T MOVE out of obligation YES MOVE out of jubilation Maybe it's just simpler To keep your moves small DON'T MOVE out of hesitation YES MOVE out of deliberation Maybe it's just safer Not to think at all Unmoving Unthinking No chancing No risking No fear But no faith If you're floating in the air There's no chance that you can stumble But without ground beneath your feet You will miss out on the rumble The movement, the vibrations Of informed choices and Creation Cheering you on: We are waiting for you To rise up, to sit down To recognize yourself And the importance of your being Not your harvest but your gleaning So take your time And take it well Either "DON'T MOVE" With your whole heart Or "YES MOVE" With your whole heart There's both a beauty in the cadence Of gently rendered patience And the boldness of a decision Made more with faith than with precision What if It's not about moving Or not moving It's about trusting Or not trusting You were given a spirit So don't let it idle You were given a brain-- Which takes the title? All of life is discernment But YOU are more than the choices you make. ~ S.B., 8/16/22
