TAPPING INTO MY INNER RESOURCES ON THIS JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE “Be kind. Everyone is facing a hard battle You know nothing about…” —Plato This journey through life Is like a narrow ribbon of road Curling around canyons, Skirting the edges of cliffs, Rising up to high mountain passes With exhilarating views, Before sweeping down into Jungles and forests far below, Emerging into the wide Lush light strewn valleys Carpeted with flowers in rainbow Colors, then on beside gentle waters Flowing in wide wild rivers Until coming to rickety bridges That must be crossed To keep on moving on. My life has been an intensely Tumultuous journey in which Each new day brings unexpected Developments and challenges Requiring strength and tapping into All the inner resources within, Using all my good qualities to Shine through the dark times As I constantly ride mighty waves Surging up and down and out of control, By having complete surrender to And faith in the Divine’s sweet will And my Beloved who is ever here for me, Before the wave breaks on Some faraway moonlit beach and This journey comes to its end.
