IN HIDDEN ORBITS I I spin in hidden orbits Through everyday life, Knowing that these rings Are both within My choice and completely Beyond my control. Every moment contains And is part of our destiny. In my spinning, I am a small planet Circling and illuminated by The Source that spawned me And which holds me Just the right distance In orbit around Its powerful brilliance. I cannot escape, Nor do I wish to, For this is a cause For joy— That I have been sent here For a destiny and a purpose Greater than any I could think up on my own. In surrendering to this I receive great freedom. Great freedom leads to Great responsibility— Accepting that leads to Great power, which gives Me the ability to Fulfill my purpose, And great danger , too— Of being seduced by dark Forces to use this Power for dark ends.

II I spin in hidden orbits, Already fulfilling my destiny, Following each day As it unfolds like A blindfolded man walking A thin wire Stretched over a canyon. Perhaps I will fall, As I have fallen before, Tumbling onto jagged rocks, But I will always rise, As I have risen again And again, out of That dark canyon, To seek and find And more carefully continue Along the thin wire, To spin more fervently Around the hidden orbits, Learning each moment The lesson of that moment And the destiny it contains. October 28, 1984
