INTENTION
©2001 Mark P. Hirschhorn
from the Ascending Music CD 'Promises To Keep'
Every day we pass between the cradle and the grave
We celebrate the endless dance of particles and waves
And as we do, we’re shaping how the Universe behaves
At first it seems a figment of invention
But Life itself awakes to our intention
This journey of evolving Grace has made us who we are
Children of this blessed Earth and bright, uncounted stars
Discovering our destiny – Tomorrow’s avatars
For as we walk the road of Love’s Redemption
We join the Great Communion of Intention
In the space between our heartbeats, in the calm before the storm
There’s a place where Faith and Art meet, where our highest hopes are born
As we consecrate Creation with our passion and our will
We behold the face of Joy’s embrace fulfilled
Our lives are in the balance; we have come here to decide
Will we dream and dare together, or yield to fear and pride
The time has come to trust our sacred selves to be our guides
We honor Peace in all its bright dimensions
By giving deed and voice to our intention
Yes, at first it seems a figment of invention
But Life itself awakes to our intention
