be

I can not save you

or even take your pain

why would I be god

when god clearly belongs to you?

To see your eyes and then look up ,

if the clouds and lights don't obscure it,

there you are, with them.

Their dust and their light

you have a disassembled life

be there, 

be.

Self responsibility belongs to each of us. Yes we can not control everything but a large part of our life experience is a direct result of our choices and how we deal with them. When we stop expecting someone else to rescue us..to fix us then we take the drivers seat. That and faith will take us where we need to be.

i like the abstract quality of this piece...

all that you own is there when you look up...

and pain is also yours to embrace...i cannot take that away from you...only god can, and you own him as he owns you.

there is that sense in this poem that we are responsible for our own feelings...we create them from our reactions to life...and no one can feel them for us or feel them instead of us.

Thank you Jacob, yes that is the concept I try to live by. I first came across it in a business seminar teaching Steven Covey's First things First. He postulates that there is always a pause between what happens to us and how we react to it, in that pause we make the decision what that reaction will be and so, are in control of that reaction. Thanks for reading.
