DRIFTING DOWNSTREAM ON A RIVER OF LIGHT Late in the afternoon I am drifting downstream With the current On a river That passes through Many dark places. Every day now, I take The journey on this river— Waking up to drifting, Going to sleep On its deep waters, Tugging gently at my boat. I experience fear And sharp loneliness— I am pierced by exaltation And then by exhaustion, All the while watching The shoreline, thick with Dark trees, sliding by. I want to sail on the River of life giving light, But do not know Where it is… Until I close my eyes In sweet and serene meditation, And go deep inside And realize it is the same River I am already on— That it is up to me To banish the darkness And bring out the light And be love in this dark world. October 14, 1983 Still Mountain Retreat
