Survive

We no longer come into the world to survive.
Were we born to resist life?
as if it were punishment, or war,
as if loving were a risk?

We came to to survive.

To live above fear,
but rooted in the Earth.
Stop hunting for bones
and start to take care of ourselves.

To survive is to co-habit
seeking prosperity,
not from possession,
but from communion.

It is no longer enough to prolong death.
We long for improve life.
Regenerate it. Beautify it. Multiply it.

To survive is to remember
that the world blossoms from one.
