Live Inspired

By Lorri Palko and Deb Keegan

say yes to,
awakening
a heart filled with a chorus

knowledge uncovered by a whisper
energy radiating from the universe
the joy of a playful child
awaken love

say yes to,
being
the freedom of tumbleweed
the creative power of a river
the magnificence of the mountains
the peaceful falling snow
be love

say yes to,
expanding
how you listen to the mystery of the night
where caring and connection are birthed
what thoughts you select
why receiving is your gift
expand love

say yes to,
celebrating
the smile of a simple pleasure
the playground of emotions
all that is reflected back to you
your essence by dancing in the light
celebrate love

say yes to,
allowing
God’s voice to quiet the noise
your story to transcend
permission to play large
for victory from beginning to end
allow love

awaken love
be love
expand love
celebrate love
allow love
live inspired.
