The Difference Between A Person & A Soul

Have you ever noticed, noted,

the way a flower opens up in June

but was not there in March?

That's the way it can be

when you see a person

but are shy to perceive

the Truth,

the Love,

the Soul or Spirit

they really are.

You may have missed the flower that will bloom

because you were only looking at thin air,

or thought you were looking at thin air.

When you look at a person

you can choose see the potential for him or her to grow.

This is like seeing a hint of a breath of his soul.

A breath of the part of him that is always inviting him

toward his greater and greater potential.

And, guess what?

You can be part of the wind and rain

that helps him grow.

You can shine sun on him

simply by not dismissing

the potential that is there.

You can be any one's inspiration,

simply by remembering

that each is more than what you see.

In each is buried, potential light.

No matter how realized we are there is always More.

Forget, forgive, the emptiness you see in another.

Forget/forgive his shame and adoration/ardour for false meaning.

Forget/forgive his false search for self and hold him up to True Light.

Smile upon Him, not his poor behavior or his shadow or lack of light,

but on his seed light, his potential, his Name,

the Name* in him calling out to awaken.

*Name is like the next best thing you can be,

the next greatest gift from your soul.

Amen

Thank you,
