Currency of the Soul

 

CURRENCY OF THE SOUL

Copyright 2021 Don Ray

Feel free to share

 

Shadows race down the hill toward our lives,

making it all the more imperative to soak up the sunshine.

There will be ample time for labor and mourning.

Savor the breeze while you can.

Not one shared moment of love and affection will be regretted.

 

Waste not the moments in trivialities,

let not mere entertainment fill the precious time.

 

Let communion and meaning fill the days,

Labor aplenty will always be available.

 

Time given to prayer,

to relationship,

to love,

to God,

is never time wasted.

 

Time to projects and goals may pay disappointment or dividends,

and that investment is obligatory and inescapable.

 

But time given to compassion and connection with Wholeness,

that is investment that always returns riches and wealth.

 

Patience and faith are the currency of the soul.

Compassion and generosity are their investment vehicles.

Life itself in all its depth, breadth, and meaning

is the dividend.
