I made a bet with Life
When I was young.
I said “Life, I bet I can
Thrive in any conditions
As long as I remember
To feel You close.
So go ahead and make me
One of your agents.
I will heal, restore and lift others,
I will give birth and raise new humans,
I will pacify and harmonize troubled hearts
I will sow seeds of joy and appreciation
I will run wherever pain calls
I will show compassion to those who don’t know love.
… Until the day I miss home.
When that day comes,
You will bring me back home.”
Life laughed.
This has been my game with Life.
It’s been …
well, … a game.
Away from home. Outside of it.
Now it’s time to go back in.
I want to be Life.
I am heaven on earth.
No more games.
Let the world be.

“Take a wish into the well (your heart, that is)
That’s all you have to do
If you hear it echoing
Your wish will soon come true.”
