One Crazy Ride

When we arrive at the door of sorrow,
our hearts grieve what is lost and
awaken to what is before us as we 
sit in the narrow wedge we call home.

Let us come alive to all life, all being,
as we navigate rough waters, and
wish to enter morning dawn unharmed.

Let go of safety to be in the stream.
Let go of secure to ride the wave.
The risk is before us with the choice
to sit safe or move into form.

Let go, let life arise.
It is our choice.
Our hearts response. 
Our one crazy ride.
