why aren’t you sharing


why aren’t you sharing
why aren’t you going
out into the world?
you have been given
everything you need
everything of heaven
to go, to spread the word
to go and make disciples
to transform the world

Flight, released, untethered,
freed from the mortal coil
an act of will, of liberation
from our belief structure
from the weights that bind us
that hold us to the earth
