This is it
Choice time
Over and over again
Where do you fall
Into fear
Or into love
Into fight or flight
Or into acceptance
As the day wears on
See how it grabs you
That fear
Maybe it starts in the gut
But really it’s the thoughts
Will I survive?

And then you breathe
And come back to this moment
Just this
And you find peace
An inner acceptance
Of this reality
As it is

And then the wave comes
Again and again

This is your test
Your inquiry
A great exacting time
For each of us
On the true path of love
To see how we fall
How we yield to fear
And how we return to love
And which one is more beneficial
To us and to life itself

Don’t give yourself away
This primal fear
This imagined fear
Is the true virus
Don’t catch it, and don’t spread it
Spread only love.
