Am I Done Now?

“Am I done now?” I ask.
Half-hoping yes. Half-hoping no.
“I’ve taught my students,
raised fine sons until they were grown,
written my books,
taken my photos,
lived through the highs,
and survived the lows.
I’ve climbed enough mountains
and seen my share of rainbows.
So am I done now?” I ask.
“I want to know.”

And Love answers:
“There’s no end to Me 
and so there’s no end to you.
You’re where you’ll always be –
in Love unchanging, always new.
You will never be done
reflecting Love’s love –
whether you’re in the valley below
or flying in clouds above.
So don’t worry about what’s next.
You’re where you need to be now –
enjoy these moments you have here –
beyond the when or what or how.”
