IN SEARCH OF MY HEART and SOUL’S TRUE DESTINY “The spiritual warrior knows that change And letting go of what once was Is a necessary part of the path To arrive at where he needs to be.” —Yeshe Gyamtso Soon I must leave the comforting Stillness of this silent sanctuary, The warm secure enfolding This mountain gives me, To embark on another journey, A journey through time and space, To new spaces and new times. I never know if I will come back, Though certainly not as the same Person as when I leave, for I can easily see this new journey Means change and transformation, A furthering beyond where I am now… My heart is ready, though my mind is Torn by anxious winds and fears— My thoughts race ahead to where this Journey must take me and I Gently bring myself back to being Here and now, for I must savor What is to properly arrive at What is coming and meant to be. Closing the gate to this mountain road, I will be entering another gate— One for which I have prepared mightily, As this new journey will certainly unfold With its challenges and blessings as I go on Towards the new life I have seen in prayerful vision As my heart and soul’s true destiny. December 8, 1986 Still Mountain Retreat

I could relate to the first two stanzas. I feel the departure and the difficulty even though there's no despair there is the lingering before having to step away from an amazing experience. The first two stanzas capture this. I wonder what happened since as the poem is from 1986. Did that vision materialise?
