Present Justice

​Smooth flow
loosen the grip on past
present
and future
Releasing ruminating hang-ups
It is not to serve Justice
that we accuse, regret, deny, give-in, label, agree or disagree, compromise or compartmentalize
It is not in the service of Justice that we fight, advocate, or forgive
Serving Justice is to hold center
hold the calm stillness of inner truth
and self-trust
Hold ourselves in the Present Moment
with integrity
And know that Divine Law
for which we have no understanding outside of that center
will move accordingly
always and with the only aid
of our releasing
past and future
for the sake of holding Now
empowered
