Avatar, Version 2.0

Avatar

Waking to the divine aspect in each one of us
Consciously connecting with the One that we are
Embracing in love; seeing the One beyond the flesh
Allowing and accepting all that is as it is 

Choosing to die to our limited view of ourselves
Accepting that there is more than we thought we knew
Delighting in discovery of more we can learn
Trusting that we are guided and are never alone

Letting go of all judgment and grudges and false blame
Seeing the illusion of all we thought was real
Standing in our courage; persevering through our fear
Knowing, as we falter, that we are loved; we are love

Finding our path and the contribution we will make
Bringing our gifts as a point of light in our world 
Walking with thanks, praise and love in our thoughts, in our heart
Celebrating with others of like mind and like song




Inspired after seeing the movie by the same name; revised 9/18/10 to Blank Verse form

Hi Linda! Thanks for commenting so I could see you were back. I haven't been cruising the site much of late and just started up again for however long it happens if you know what I mean. This Avatar poem is intriguing . Literature and life .. one and the same. A mouthful is said here . Graduated and graduating steps to the ultimate Kingdom for those who will it. Reminds me of the "Desiderata ". Are you familiar with it? Love it. Thanks for your comments.
