confusion . . . chaos . . . conflict . . . consternation . . .
SO MANY ANSWERS – NO ANSWERS
too many LOUD voices demanding my “loyalty”
in a time of violence and dissonance—
all paths look dark . . . all ways appear dangerous
looking around for any sign to guide me and then . . .
I fall in exhausted silence and I see
a lantern and then a light and then Life before me
and a message seems to speak from
these simple, observable commonplace scenes—
lessons to help me on my journey.
so I grab my shovel and begin digging . . .
STOP, I hear – be still! look and listen
to the simple, yet complex Life all around and
I seem to feel a breath from deep inside
softly calling me to partake of Life in all creation
to see those deeper lessons of Life—
drop the shovel – avoid complicated mental gymnastics
– just breathe in Life from all creation
– walk in silence “seeing” Life everywhere
as a child being amazed by an insect or a flower
drink in life as it flows throughout all
an unseen power flowing Life through Love
release – refresh – restore
simple . . . not easy . . .
