Bright and Worthy and Good.

Embracing the beauty in all of us.

Shining Brightly

In the middle of our busy lives, it can be easy to forget a powerful truth.

There is only one of us in all of time and creation. This unique expression will never exist again through any other medium.

It feels like that is what the poet is telling us in verse.

WE TOO ARE SHINING BORN

by Gideon Heugh in Rumours of Light (Copyright © 2021 Gideon Heugh)

I've heard a rumour,
a whisper from a distant hallelujah,
a lonely breath of light from a long-forgotten star 
brushing against the remnant of our aching hearts 
to tell us something beautiful,
something scarcely believable: 

we too are shining born, loved extravagantly
even as our soul-lights flicker 
in the blast of an unkind world. 
Even in the midst of fading evidence still, so I hear, 
a finer and more honest imagination than ours 
declares us bright, and worthy, and good.

🌀Reflection:

✨How would you live differently if you embrace the idea that you are “shining born” and “loved extravagantly?” Even while enduring the blasts of an unkind world.

✨Embracing the ideas in the poem, how might you live into being bright, and worthy, and good?
