THE ART OF SOARING And The Secrets of Inner Flight The greatest suffering imaginable for me Comes creeping when I forget Who and what I really am As I tumble in the turbulence And demands of this daily life. When I begin to fall under the Spell of my own dark mind and Am seduced by the siren call Of the world and my desires… I fall from the high and holy Space in which my spirit knows The unlimited freedom of being In love with everyone and everything— Which is the shining source spring Of ineffable bliss and delight. I am ever watchful of my mind, For I know that, no matter how Far I may have risen on the spiritual Path or how high my consciousness rises, The more painful my fall from grace Will be if I accept even one tiny Nasty negative thought as truth. I am like the eagle who is Learning the art of soaring To ever higher atmospheres on wide Spread, strong and steady wings— Knowing that every moment of life Is a school for learning the secrets And the power of inner flight. My greatest suffering is when I forget who and what I really am And lose this fierce eagle nature For a time until, in the tumbling fall From those great heavenly heights, I reawaken, remember my true Self and begin soaring back up on the Sweet currents of love in spiraling Circles of awareness and light.
