To all my fellow members of the try-hard club,
trying hard this Monday morning
to love,
to serve,
to help,
to understand,
to be responsible,
to make it better because it desperately needs to be better,
or just to make it through the day.
We all need to remember this: we are not in charge.
And that is okay.
It really is okay. We know that deep down.
We need to bring our not-in-chargeness to the front of our minds,
and hold it there like a hug.
Let it relieve us and set us free.
We are not in charge.
Love is in charge.
Love is in charge, and we are not.

Let the knowledge of Love, the experience of Love,
fill us up every minute of today, and bring us
courage,
strength,
serenity,
and the hope to remember that
no matter what happens,
we are safe,
in Love.
We are safe, and all of ours.
So hold my hand, and I'll hold yours.
Hold on tight.
We'll walk through this day together.
Safe in Love.
