The Game Of Life 04/02/2024

We are all part
Of a divine plan
Like chess pieces
On a game board
Strategizing and
Maneuvering
On what to experience
In life. 

Every move
Integral
To other pieces
In the game
Trying to make
Everything work
Together
Without knowing
Or understanding
The overall game plan. 

Many mistakes
Made along the way
Not paying attention
To our purpose
Always feeling
We are losing
Or missing out.  

What would happen to our life
If we understood the bigger picture
We were trying to play out? 

That would change
Our momentum
We could
Flow easily
Not thinking
But existing
Not doing
But living 
Without worries
Without fears
Without feeling unworthy
Of missing out. 

Tis’ our natural state
Of existence
Already
Pre-programmed
For us
Into being
Integral to
Each other’s life. 

So flow
With compassion
Flow with love
That’s how all the
Pieces work together
In the game of life.
