Yes

Like a vast and gracious Host, welcome
and say "yes" to this
"yes" to this and "yes"
to every this

Your true life arrives constantly…
when you've set up your little shop
at the intersection of Now and Yes

Recognize all things as Emissaries
and Manifestations of a greater and mysterious Will
and all that is as a form of support
(though what is being supported may not be your ego) 

When you welcome each present moment
unendingly, time ceases, and you yourself
become part of It, the Divine Presence

This Presence is subtle and buoyant,
and supports your awareness effortlessly
the way water holds up a boat

Yet when you abandon Presence 
in order to get somewhere else 
you’ve wandered away, an isolated figure 
exiled from the tapestry of being

So let your awareness be vast 
and vastly inclusive, as if the whole world
--what’s here and what’s not--
is being welcomed, without quibble

Hear, see, and feel everything, with this 
simple, healing greeting extended 
even to the worst day of your life
when you will need it the most: 
                Yes
