Listen Up. Fear Prayer: You Are Alive. You Are Here.

by Jon Katz
Fear Prayer. Listen Up

Are you afraid?

Of those voices,

That tell you that you are not enough.

Do you believe the lies?

About what is safe.

What it means to be secure.

To have work that you love.

What you need to grow up,

and be older?

To be healthy.

All for money. Cash or credit.

Are you enslaved?

Do you see the prison, you are in?

The jail. Do you wish to stay there?

Would you accept an invitation to break out,

to be free again?

Would you be the Admiral of your soul, the General of your destiny?

Then summon the powerful army of you.

Call up the angel who lives in your heart,

who rings her crystal bells to awaken you, to call you to your sweet life?

And your spirit, who dances the Tango in all of the doorways of your life?

And the soaring music, that lifts your heart, and twirls it in the great dance?

And the magic, that puts a hissing wand into your hand,

and blows all of their lies about your life away?

And the creative spark, sacred inside of you, waiting to tell your story to the world?

Can you see that your army is so much stronger than theirs,

which cannot love? Has no angels. Hears no music. Knows no love. Dances in no doorways. Hopes for nothing.

My  friend, do you see that determination is the greatest form of courage,

the most powerful of things.

Listen Up.  Get on with it. You are alive. You are here.
