An Offering

We all have an invitation
A choice to live a moment
Or to slip away, shy away, hide away
A sliver of a difference on the surface
But an entirely different world
depending on which we choose.

The same step, movement, glance
Can be an opening into the depths of this life
Or a blur that quickly passes

Each moment is an offering
Knocking at the door of our souls
Always ready for the answer
And it’s up to us to open the door
Welcoming in the burst of aliveness
The radiant dance of life.
