Stand still child
While the waves crash over you
They threaten to throw you down
And crush the breath out of you

Persist child
Though the salt water like stinging tears scalds your eyes
And now you can barely see
Past this life of disguise

Hold on child
As this world you've come to know and love
disintegrates
You have but one anchor,
And it is not from this realm

Don't lose your hope child
Even while it seems your efforts aren't producing results
Even while the whole world continues on in it's riotous hate
Please don't lose your love, let only love lead you

Child, I know it can be difficult to love most times and most days
Especially in a world so rampant with hate
But I need you to be strong, I need you to be wise
I need you to realize
This time you have on earth is merely temporary
But I have you here for a reason,
For a divine mission

See, people have so easily forgotten their origins
They have become distracted by toys and lust,
Things of no value that in time turn to dust
And even our flesh will perish and we will return to the ground
But our soul continues, this mission never ends

Everyone has been called to this mission to love,
This mission to radically love
It's not a mission of passivity
And telling people what they want to hear
Coddling them and protecting them from all their fears
Life wasn't meant to be lived in a padded cell of safety
Life is meant to be lived vigorously, bravely
But people have deeply forgotten this call,
And they need saving

Just embody love,
this full spectrum emotion
Let it tear your life a part
Give it all you've got
Completely surrender your heart
To this force that will incinerate all your false notions
And all the measly lies you cling to
All the ego protections
And bragging rights you base your identity on
Once you let Love enter fully through the door of your heart
There is no returning back to who you once were
Love will shatter you
As if you were concrete
So all the wildflowers
Could come through again

So child,
I know you may feel small and scared and incompetent
To say yes to this mission I am calling you to
But really everything about you is sacred
And it's this truth I want you to wake up to.
