in the beginning

we are unity

binding us to the Divine
move towards holiness

all we need is here
if we assist each other
to open our eyes

One tests Abraham
never speaks to him again
guess he failed the test

how does kindness look?
like so much heavy lifting
be kind anyway

gonna be messy

towards Oneness or away
check your direction

we struggle with Divinity

marches to his own drumbeat
and so, saves them all

play to your own strengths
If we all work together
we will all flourish

though sometimes we do fall short
it is everything
