Show Up Each Day

by Ananda Vrindavan Devi

--------

Each day is a lifetime in itself

It’s own universe

We start again each day

Moments that are right now

Today, and that’s why

We show up to our japa

Each day, at some part of the day

To anchor ourselves

To connect with Krishna

Beyond this life and the day that’s in it

To remind ourselves that we are

Above it all, which allows us to be

Present to it all, the material energy,

As Krishna’s own energy

Part of him, belonging to him.

And as we live through it

Work through it, struggle through it

We can love and let go each day, every day

And we’ll be ready then, for the great letting go

At the end, when it happens.
