Music – Thievery Corporation – Sleeper Car
I have come face to face with my own cowardice
Stark and real, it has lived for decades hidden at the core of me
The talents and skills I have honed
Now exposed for what they are in the light of what has come
Forever it seems I have developed defenses to hide and secure the Timid Self
In the arena of thought, philosophy, religion, and politics, I am a warrior and champion
But even now I shrink before the powers and principalities of this world
I am exposed, vulnerable, panicked, and yes, afraid
Yet . . .
And yet, even in the midst of the chaos of this crucible there is stillness
A soundless voice whispers . . .
Wait, be still, allow the fire to burn off the dross
Watch and see the path appear before you
It will manifest one halting step at a time
It says to me
Time for believing is done
Now is the season of Knowing
For, without resistance there can be no flight
If there is no obstacle, climbing is impossible
Amidst the fear is where love abides
At the ends of terrible grief, laughter arises
Stillness is learned when anxiety is the guide not the foe
What is Now will reveal what is needed in It’s time
I will ride the waves that come
They will ferry me to the new land which awaits
Keep on truckin’

They are beautiful.

Yes. Thank you
“If there is no obstacle, climbing is impossible.” That’s a poem unto itself!
Thank you for being here. Your presence is a balm
Just remember you were a pilgrim on this road once before… Perhaps soon you’ll see some familiar touch stones… Hang in there “little brother.” <3
Yes mam. I remember and it is well. The imaginations of what might be seek to usurp what is. I think I am where I need to be. And like before I have hope in the cool and unexpected grace of the Creator. Kisses and hugs.
It will come.
Thank you my brother. That felt like a word from a much loved brother indeed
