The Worth of the Soul

Our soul is worth more
than all the wealth of the universe,
for truth shapes
the life we consciously live.
Existence itself deserves great love,
while truth stands beside it.
Truth makes us strong
where lies once made us weak.
And truth knows suffering—
for we know suffering too.

The truth of our soul is
the life we have lived:
pain endured, tears shed,
moments survived.
Nothing can rob us
of the reality of a life truly been.
Good or bad,
experience shape who we are today
though not always
who we were meant to be
from the beginning.

Why do we struggle so often?
Because imbalance cannot stand upright forever.
Yet even pain is subdued in time
by life’s refusal to cease.
Moment after moment
life continues.
And in truth nothing is forgotten—
not even our deepest sorrow.

How could our truth not remain?
If one plus one equals two
needs nothing to exist
and yet is always true,
why should we believe
our struggles are lived in vain?
For unseen beauty grows
through trials we barely understand.
Passing moments become memory,
and memory becomes wisdom.

Truth keeps our life stored.
Lies wound us,
but truth preserves us.
Goodness that is lived
remains within the soul.
Nothing truly good
is ever lost.
And so we are shaped
by the good we have lived.

Walking Truth
Life lived truthfully
becomes our reality of being.
If we wish to know ourselves
we must walk in truthful love.
have love that endures.
Love that continues loving true
love beyond passing of time.
And throughout the harvest of life
as we reap what we have sown.

For each day we exist
within an abundance we did not create.
Even when we struggle to love ourselves
life continues to sustain us.
And that simple permission to exist
carries already great mercy.
Every soul is an expression of truth.
Each life a unique identity
within the great tapestry of being.
A truthful image fears no mirror.
Indeed, it does not need one.

For when we seek truth
we live real existence
the good and the difficult times alike.
Suffering has many faces.
Life turns like a wheel
through joy and sorrow.
We know suffering wounds the heart,
yet suffering also deepens
our understanding of goodness.
And so time moves forward
as we shape our future
moment by moment to better.

Our deepest longing
has always been simple:
“I wish suffering would be gone.â€
Nothing truer
has ever been spoken.
For the heart knows
life was not meant for misery.
One day truth will stand fully revealed.
And when truth stands
lies will fall away.
Even if our past was imperfect
truth still desires life without suffering.
And truth will guard that life
when life in lies is gone.

Conscious life both gives
and receives love.
Truth grows within us
like a small seed.
From that tiny seed
an inner universe unfolds
even in our darkest hours.
For every moment lived
is held within the greater life.
The Eternal Discovery!

Therefore nothing is greater
than living truthfully in true.
Let each day reveal again
the quiet miracle existing
For the truth holds us.
Even as love sustains us.
And our souls as well,
For as Truth's offspring
we have true worth.
Worth more than all the wealth
of this universe
could ever be
is you true value.
