As happens to me from time to time, I am
inspired to see my work in a new, or at least,
more ripe or refreshing way. Such is my
epiphany last week, with my realization,
that what I am, is a “listener,” using meditation
and prayer to commune with my inner connected
Divine consciousness, asking for guidance,
sometimes general, other times specific,
and recording what I hear in response.
I often think, perhaps the reality of this
note-writing endeavor I chronicle on this blog,
is to carry a message to some targeted reader
or readers, now or in the future, who will use
these inspired words to create positive change.
Yet, most of the time, I intuitively know this is
not my concern, so I record what I hear, possibly
attempt an explanation, then move on knowing
there will actually be, as many translations of the
note as there are readers.
Today I offer a familiar blaze.
A FAMILIAR BLAZE
Finding clarity midst the tumult
takes vigilance, harnessing disparate
thoughts, errant emotions, confused
desires, all beckoning for valid attention,
all worthy, yet all missing the point -
as alternative perspectives collide
and tumble in confusion.
Perhaps it is precisely at this impasse
when we must return to our original
purpose, created during more sincere
times, connected times, when effective
trumped all inclusive, when earnest
meant more than comprehensive.
With this in mind, let us collect our
thoughts like kindling for a welcomed
fire, a familiar blaze, as smoke gives
way to flame, our balanced restored,
our breath well tended, as once more
we proceed with the tried and true,
heartfelt, and sensible – as our
marker on this journey’s path, ready
and surely able to travel on ignited.
