Okay

the more i think, the more i am confused

the more i analyze, the more tangled up i become

the more i beg and plead for light, the darker my vision becomes

the more i seek answers in the opinions of others, the more i add energy to the frustration i feel

the more i allow the darkness to affect my calm, the deeper it settles in

i will let go

i will tread lightly

i will let life transpire without an expectation of perfection

i will not fear, neither the opinions or disapproval of others

nor my own judgement

i will walk boldly in the knowledge of a loving G-d

and trust He knows my heart

i will let myself learn

i will allow all i believe to be true, to be once again put in doubt

i will allow the light to shine through the confusion of my experiences

I am, and will be, okay.

Dorothy and Me

in the stillness of my heart and will, is the whisper of His Word

no matter what chaos surrounds me, a serene calm can reign in my interior

my inner world can be one of peace

with diligence, with discipline

with every breath i take, a Spirit of Peace can move through me, within me and from me

affecting and infecting all who are near, and even those who are not

for there is no time, no space

we are all One

and as i move closer to the Universal Mind’s ideal state, i raise humanity some immeasurable increment in vibration

as i aspire to stillness, i will find myself floating naturally along the path

that i often struggle so hard to find

as i erase all that i know, or think i do

i will make a wide open space for God’s light to shine

like dorothy, such a long journey, a long struggle

to grow closer to the Divine

when all that she or I ever need is in our own back yard.

Can I?

how to straddle both worlds?

the Divine and the Terrestrial

knowledge and ignorance

Light, and Darkness

Heaven, and Hell

peace, and insanity

Precise man-made order, and Divine Spirit-led Chaos

Ambition, and Ultimate Fulfillment

Can my spirit float and inhabit the most banal situations?

can i invest energy

in activities that in substance hold no meaning, no importance, no inherent value?

will the lesson be to approach each act with diligence, with full attention?

to dwell in the “World”

and shine a light

with a spirit of humility and power;

of selflessness and confidence?

Can I be a new Me,

in an Old World,

once cast off and thought to be abandoned forever?

Can I serve humbly

where once Arrogance reigned?

Can I?
