Returning to Yourself

Returning to Yourself

As you return to yourself

you realize a few things.

First, you have something iridescent,

indivisible, and eternal within you---

A brilliant blue spark of life

that makes you into you

and that spark is something pretty special.

Second, you realize that

everything alive everywhere

carry similar sparks within them

that are just as special.

Don't pretend to know what the divine is

when you don't have any idea what you are.

Look around yourself,

and look around the world

until you discover the discontent

that runs deep in your being

urging you to strive.

Explore until you discover

the great ocean of love and compassion

that runs in you deeper still.

Look around until you find

the wondrous mystery

that permeates all you look upon

and everything you never see.

Remember friend, you can create

out of dissatisfaction.

You can create out of the love of creation,

and you can create to explore the endless seas.

Remember always that creation is the point

where right-here-and-right-now

meets with fantasy.
