Fate and destiny,
the same or different?
We resign ourselves
to our fate.
Fate is our dues
owed to nature.
The mortality of our physical form,
the inevitability of death
that humbles us all.
Fate can be embraced.
The richness of the little deaths,
offered as the bandage is ripped off
of our hidden wounds,
our secret judgments
against ourselves.
Our old patterns that keep us
separate from our true selves.
For God has no judgment,
only love and acceptance.
Fate comes,
invited or not,
embraced or denied.
Destiny,
on the other hand
is the dues
we own our soul.
We create our own destiny
as we choose daily
how to spend
the light/love of Creator
that is the true fuel fir
our precious human bodies.
Are we spending that juice,
that energy,
to meet the expectation,
the “requirments” of
other’s view of who we should be?
Or are we focusing that
light and love
on what brings joy
to our soul?
Walking that joy
is paying those
destiny dues due our soul.
Poetry pours itself onto paper,
from my heart.
The answer to my souls longing
to express itself in this world.
What brings you the greatest joy?
Your dues to your soul,
your destiny.
