I have never posted a topic before. This poem was given to me by my therapist to noodle on. I find it has helped me delve into my myself greatly and given me some wonderful insights into myself my spiritual nature as well as those around me. I share it today because there have been several post from people here that cry out for them to really try and find who they are, and to understand themselves better, and to dig deeper. I expect no replies, I just hope that those who are in need find it useful as I have.

As Always Be Blessed

GaC

I want to know my own will
And to move with it.
And I want to, in the hushed moments
When the nameless draws near,
To be among the wise ones-
Or alone

I want to unfold.
Let no place in me hold itself closed,
For where I am closed, I am false.
I want to stay clear in your sight.

I would describe myself like a landscape I’ve studied
At length, in detail:
Like a word I’m coming to understand:
Like a pitcher I pour from at mealtimes…

All who seek you
Test you.
And those who find you
Bind you to image and gesture.

I would rather sense you
As the earth sense you.
In my ripening
Ripens
What you are .

I need from you no tricks
To prove you exist.
Time, I know,
Is other than you.

No miracles, please.
Just let your laws
Become clearer
From generation to generation
