> His vacant eyes don’t see me,
> I look for a spark but don’t find it.
> “I am finished,” he says, “all I do every day
> is move from this armchair to the bed
> and back.
> I have said everything
> I have no more to say.”
> “Maybe,” replies his granddaughter
> it is time to listen.”
>  
> Listen. . .
> there is so much you can do
> on this journey from chair to bed:
> you can sit at a table with a starving child
> and offer her a meal,
> you can pick up and hold
> the soldier bleeding on the ground,
> you can comfort the exhausted laborer
> with a cup of hot tea,
> you can pick the flower trampled by walkers
> and place it in a glass of water,
> you can question the clouds
> about what best course your day should take
> to extend love. . .
> you can also go back in time,
> pick up the teddy bear that comforted you
> so many times
> and revisit those moments that brought you
> so much pain, sorrow, humiliation,
> and all the suffering of the world,
> and notice that love was always present,
> that an angel was guiding your path,
> notice the coincidences, the synchronicities
> that brought you here
> where you can choose to love.
>  
> Let go of who you were then,
> that man you are so proud of,
> who accomplished so much but was never recognized,
> that persona you are so infatuated with
> but who let you down each time
> because its immense shadow
> hid the perfect little you
> you truly are.
>  
> Are you so afraid of the responsibility
> to just be,
> to create as the creator created you
> from love, in love, as love, for love,
> that creator that made you a perfect being
> that is one with all others
> and has no need for specialness,
> that being we love
> for its perfect mastery of presence,
> who can hear other than himself
> and knows that
> he is only lacking in what he does not give.
>  
> You are in charge
> of the great adventure that happens
> between the chair and the bed
> you can revisit your life and bless it with love
> to create the future of your choice
> all you have to do is remember. . .
> LOVE.
