I'M An Extremist

I'm an extremist... I believe in extreme kindness That it's possible for each of us to exemplify the best of goodness It costs nothing to be kind to everyone Because, contrary to social media posts Everyone is struggling with something I believe in extreme miracles That every single atom and energy molecule is a miracle Everything is energy and part of the Universe in its infinite greatness Because we are made from stardust and We can shine and touch lives everywhere I believe in extreme decency That every single person is born inherently good And capable of the best version of themselves Because we are exceptional and unique We have a purpose and can choose the right path always I believe in extreme integrity That striving to lead by example in the best possible way Is up to each of us Because we are the light and can choose to shine We are here to make a positive difference I believe in extreme honour That is exemplified each day by those individuals who choose to honour their countries In the defence of freedom and what is right Because sometimes honour means war For we are not immune to injustice and hardships I believe in extreme trust That is shown by every creature born into a world Filled with many challenges and heartaches Because trust in each other is all we can do sometimes For we show our humanity by being vulnerable I believe in extreme faith That we exhibit daily by showing up for ourselves, our loved ones And for our colleagues, leaders and nations And moreover believing in a power greater than us Because faith is sometimes all we have to cling on to in the dark For we are afraid and yet we believe I believe in extreme hope That despite the turmoil that exists globally in every sphere of life We still do our best and hope for the best Because hope is looking to a better future For our children need hope to look forward to I believe in extreme peace For at our core, we all seek peace We build communities and families We build companies and nations And only by embracing peace can We communicate with one another In the most constructive way I believe in extreme love That we as human beings have the capacity for deep and abiding love Sometimes for total strangers Because our hearts are big and our souls are infinite As we are magnificent beings of light; and love is our purest nature I'm an extremist... for all that is good Join me, and become an extremist too Blessings, love and light © Michelle Morris, 2022
