JUDGEMENT
Musings from a perpetually postponed death bed...
everything i have ever judged
has inevitably happened to me
everything i have ever denied
has eventually come to manifest itself
in one form or another
when something bad happens to us
we ask; what have i done to deserve this?
if bad things happen to someone else
to our guilt and shame
we may pity them or feel relieved we were spared
the apparent arbitrary nature of human suffering
is not here to undermine us
we are not the helpless victims of our fates
it is to lift us up in grace
with gratitude and compassion
