Mystery Unfurled

With a muddy road ahead
and a steep wall behind
decisions aren’t as important
as the resolve to continue.
Keep faith with the flowering trees
and align your thoughts
with the strength of the tide.
You will be disappointed,
wounded again and again
but you will not fail
no matter the oppressor.
The inner deity will shine bright
and the mystery of your spirit
unfurl in the gathering dark.

    This is brilliant, brother. I love the use of the word “unfurl.” It speaks of the indomitable Flow. Thank you

    I love this! Over the last weeks, the persistent message of “wholesome activation” has occupied my attention — simply seeking to let the inner deity sing through me, unfurling, activating atoms and ideas wherever resonance might occur. Where that activation occurs or what is created is not my concern, only that activation might occur as a result of my being here…

    Thank you.

    As is the muddy road ahead, uncertainty is present. It is the ever-present light that guides me now assured that all is well. Thank you.

  8. Brenda Jenkins says:

    I echo my three previous ‘brothers’ and their comments: Andrew, Lloyd and Edward. I feel the activation of Love within this grit of inner resolve–keep moving forward, come what may. All will be well. Beautiful!
