The world can give but what you give it, for being only your own projection, it exists not apart from what you wish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moment of awakening strikes suddenly
And all things change.
The whereabouts of what you left behind
Is nothing and nowhere.
Christ came to heal the mind and that he did
By your election.
The image of his loveliness brings peace
To tired hearts and weary feet,
And brings Vision to sightless eyes.
As your innermost Self, Christ gives himself to you
Nor anything does he hold back from you,
But shares freely of his full treasure house
Take one step farther, see him on the road
Made beautiful by a sudden splash of light
And reach your hand to him
He knows your need; the deep fatigue
And sense of hopelessness
He will not leave without your blessing,
That you may come to know that you are blessed.
Give to him all the thorns and all the nails,
With which you sought to crucify yourself
He longs to bring you home, to keep you safe
To shelter you in the midst of the storm.
The sickly grievance; the unholy hate
Are unworthy of you who are God's Son.
Redeem yourself; for thus you save the world.
Emerge from shadows, step into the light
And let Christ look on you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From this point forward, nothing you say or do
Has any purpose but to make the Christ manifest
Humility knows it is He that does the works.
He in me and I in Him, and we both ever together in God.
The winds and waves of worldly life will come,
But learn how not to be disturbed by them.
Situations cannot dictate how you feel, nor how
You must respond to them, for it is you
That are in charge of your journey.
If you did not have help, and mighty help
You would be lost indeed!
The Holy Spirit, through your hands, commands
The little vessel safely into the harbor
If you give up the ignoble attempt
To steer your ship alone, to think you know
Better the way than the Guide that God Gave
You will find a perfect peace, like unto
The eye at the center of the storm.
As it is single, so let yours be as well.
Let shine your light, small though it may appear,
And your presence shall illumine the world.
