When I understand
that One Spirit
is the ultimate energy
empowering everything,
perhaps I will understand
that consciously plugging in
makes perfect sense.
Meditation, rites and rituals
are for unlocking the heart
to the movements
of the Great Mystery
that birthed us, sustains us,
and desires to reveal to us
the full meaning of our name.
Our fears and hostilities,
if not let go of
in due season,
may begin to think
they own us,
and staking a claim
in the far recesses
of our souls,
try to manipulate us
to do their bidding.
On our life’s journey,
if reason and logic alone
fuel our adventures,
we may one day
find ourselves immobile
in a densely tangled forest
yielding its invisible crossings
only to those traveling on faith.
