You Are The Promised LandUnity Consciousness #63

Whatever it is you’re going through
However hard you think it is
It’s not the Middle Passage
It’s not slavery
It’s not even walking to Canada
Listen now and don’t forget
You are somebody’s freedom
You are somebody’s future
You are the promised land

Excerpted from “On The Eastern Shore” a poem by Kate Rushin
This excerpt is as heard on WNPR’s Weekend Edition, Saturday, August 28, 2004 as read at the Sunken Garden Poetry Festival at Hillstead Museum in Connecticut

You are the promised land because behavior that matches the Creator's is salvation - not only for yourself.
