Crossing the Divide



As we exude the fragrant attitude of gratitude,
we feel full, complete, overflowing with abundance.

And so, naturally we want to give to others.

It's just like being in love.
We love everyone and the world looks beautiful!

If we meet a kindred soul of the other gender
who wants to give us as much as we want to give that soul,
it's astonishing! Sweet.......

Our technically sophisticated society
has kept us in our little compartments,
driving alone in our cars,
locking our doors,
staying inside our dwellings,
avoiding one another,
rushing about our hectic little lives,
not even knowing the names of our neighbors.

But stop!
Why are we even here?
What, for heaven's sake,
are we supposed to be doing
on this planet for a span of 70 or 80 or 90 years?

I HAVE NO DOUBT.
I am convinced
one of the myriad reasons is
we are incontrovertibly
here to help one another.

The road is uncertain.

Others have gone ahead
generously sharing their secrets with us.

We must listen.

It will make the journey less fearsome.

Mine is the voice of friendship.

I look deep into your eyes, plumbing your soul.

What holds you back?

Be known, truly known,
in the profundity of your spirit,
caressed and cradled in quietness.

These caring hands want to give you
only gentle goodness.
Compelled to give.

Will you receive from me?

I am a keeper of the shining light
to bathe your soul, your mind, your emotions.

Fear not.

"Life is just a narrow bridge and
the main thing is to have no fear, no fear at all."

Take my hand.

Together we will walk to a place of peace.
