The lens of choice
by Amee Shah

​​Each moment is rife
Offering an ocean or a seeming desert
depending on the lens of Choice!
 
I get present so I can choose
Choosing out of freedom for my joy
Choosing consciously, with my heart
and soul afire
Choosing with gratitude for choices
Choosing with power and intent
Choosing slowly, reverently,
Letting my higher self come through.
Choosing vocally, choosing while awake
Choosing as a prayer, a thanksgiving
 
Or letting choice be chosen for me
Out of habits, unquestioned beliefs
Choosing unconsciously
Choosing like a victim
Disempowered, resigned, controlled
Powerless to the vagaries of life
When choice feels missing
Life occurs as a threat, not a gift
Yet choice is never absent
Only the mind is!
 
If joy is missing ask yourself this,
If freedom feels constricted, ask yourself this,
 
Who are you being?
What are you committed to?
What will you let go?
What will you create?
What will you choose?
What words will you speak?
What truth will you own?
What power will you breathe out?
What inspiration will you take in?
 
Choose . . . for that is your highest virtue
Choose . . . for that is your divine gift
Choose . . . for that is why you are created
Choose . . . it is only a matter of claiming!!
