Mission Possible<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was taught that
\nMy Mission
\nis to
\nWorship and Obey
\nThe Creator,<\/p>\n

but I\u2019ve since
\ncome to believe
\nthat\u2019s some sort of
\nscrivener\u2019s error,<\/p>\n

since The Love
\nthat spawned
\na trillion Fractals
\nfrom Its Light,
\nincluding
\nYou and Me,
\nburns on Love,
\nnot bruised knees and
\nsmudged foreheads
\nfrom bowing down.<\/p>\n

Then I believed
\nthat Love
\nsent Us here
\nto some sort of
\nEarth School of
\nHard Knocks,<\/p>\n

to Learn to
\nfend off
\ngut punches of Fear
\nwith the Embrace
\nof Love,<\/p>\n

a step in
\nThe Right Direction
\nI suppose.<\/p>\n

But now I\u2019m
\nWondering if
\nthere\u2019s Something
\nthat transcends
\nearning a Black Belt in
\nDivine Self-Defense.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m learning that
\nMy Soul
\nis connected to
\nThe Mystery,
\nand
\nIn The Mystery
\nthere is
\nwhat Some call
\nHeaven,<\/p>\n

and I\u2019m beginning to
\nBelieve that
\nMy Mission,
\nif I choose to accept it,
\nis to
\nFollow My Soul
\nInto The Mystery,
\ngather up armloads
\nof Heaven,
\nand bring them
\nDown to Earth.<\/p>\n
