Each day, in the common
ordinary miracles of this world –
our souls are being saved;
we are saving one another
and we are saved
by a larger love holding us all
and in every breath of life and spirit and love,
we are graced with glimpses of heaven
right here – right now.
Just outside your door,
you might just find your soul at the altar of life
you might just move out into this world
with heart open, soul open
and be stopped in your tracks
by the morning sun and birdsong
by crayons on paper and belly laughs
by a violin, a piano
by a smile, a voice,
you might just get up
and be saved.
– Rev. Luke Stevens-Royer, “Are You Saved?”
