On Journeying
Every journey is unique, my lovely!
Each one will find a separate way
whether alone or en masse.
The metaphor for Life itself
is driven in the creative moment
inherent with sweat, stress, tears,
growing in insight and foresight,
while focused in the present tense,
shedding old skins,
learning what vulnerability means
- the blessedness of sleep, safety
and biological relief with provision;
the power in powerlessness.
Easier said than done, dear heart!
When beloveds and babies,
when the helpless and hurt,
young and the old are involved.
Not just an adventure.
Nor is it merely Necessity blindly
on the move
but a burgeoning opportunity
to flex, be humble, find gratitude:
Alhamdul’Illahi indeed.
And get to know deeply what Peace
truly means.
The Purpose, not only personal
but collective, redemptive, universal.
Evolution at every level and instance
moves with a glacier’s icy creep
imperceptibly - until, of a sudden,
a tipping-point erupts, engulfing
the Whole in a cataclysmic onward Shift.
Rising up, moving beyond
the old terrain and status quo
to something - unimaginable
in the chaos of Change -
new worlds birthing.
Take heart my lovely!
