What Do I Have to Give?
What do I have to give?
What am I, that I am making a difference?
Where am I, that I can see what others will see?
How can I give?
We all live in this world.
We all see the same things,
but all feel differently.
People will see what they want to see.
People will be aware of what they want to be.
What you give is yourself.
What you are is yourself.
That is the only thing to give —
to give of yourself.
Being of yourself, no more, no less.
Be of yourself — not others,
not your sister, not your mother, not Theresa.
Be of yourself and rejoice in that,
as no other can be you.
Be of yourself and be in your own power,
that may be from above
and from every essence that is living.
Be alive so that the dead may see.
Be alive so that they may awake again.
Be not afraid, so they may be brave.
Be not cruel, so they may be kind.
Be of yourself so that they may be of themselves.
They have permission to be themselves
as you give permission to be yourself.
Be of yourself in hindsight and foresight.
Be of yourself in present and past too.
Be of yourself.
Yourself.
Yourself.
Ourself.
You.
Self.
Self.
The self is the holder of the soul —
the keeper of it,
so precious that no one knows the beauty of it.
The soul can only exist and know itself through the self.
It is a witness to the soul.
The self is the keeper of the soul for this lifetime.
Be kind to self.
Be of value,
as the self does humanize value.
Be true,
as the soul needs the truth.
Be free,
as the soul needs freedom.
Be the self —
a protection and keeper of the soul.
The soul is the essence of who you are,
and in this, the soul will dance and rejoice
once the self is known to it,
once the self is awake to it.
Be of the self,
and the soul will be of the self.
Know yourself,
and you will know the soul.
Be of the self who gives what the soul needs —
eyes that see,
a heart that feels,
a mind that believes.
The soul sees all and allows it to be.
The soul sees all and allows it to be
as the self sees.
Be of the self —
that is the protection and keeper of the soul,
a home so valued and revered.
Yourself is a temple.
Your being is a vessel.
As the soul resides in you,
so does the Divine —
the Creation and the Creator.
The Creation and the Creator
will both reside within.
The soul’s purpose is to live through the self.
The self’s purpose is to live through the soul.
And in this,
they are both awake.
In this,
they are both knowing of each other.
In this,
they are knowing what the other is for.
They are one and the same.
Be not afraid.
Be not in doubt.
Be not in fear.
As the soul is your essence,
so is the self the essence of the soul.
If wondering, capture this —
in the presence,
the past,
and the future.
The soul knows all and sees all.
The self will know all and see as well.
One and the same.
