Love has lit the way

Unlike the earthly forms of parent-child
Relationships, the Son of God and His
Father never exist in separate states;
'Though the Son has this unique attribute:
He can imagine such to be the case.
However, when he does, he then perceives
Himself only in pieces – not in peace.
A stranger in a strange land; in the far
Country where his needs he must provide for
Or go without, and it is this he does
In some way when he seeks without himself
For his good. It is not within the world,
But from himself that he must bring good forth
For that is the activity of God
Which he must become an observer of.
The working out of Grace seems to take time
But any moment you can have it – now
If you so wish, or I should say, 'so will.'
Until that time, take heart my friend in this:
You cannot escape Him Whose Son you are.
Nor is there really sense in the idea,
Look not with trepidation on this thought
For it is your Salvation and the world's.
Rather, embrace it as the whole way out
And see it and yourself in the One Light
The Holy Spirit brings to every thought
And cleanses all perception, every new
Meeting with a brother another chance
To save the Son of God, and bring him peace
From God, his Father. Let us be released.
That we may, in turn, release our brothers.
Now let us say amen, and enter in
The sanctuary where the Son is home
At last. And now is fear the stranger here,
Who once seemed sole companion; co-pilot
To turn to in every emergency
For guidance and support, stability
Even if based on its rigidity.
The fixed upside-down orientation
Assuaged anxiety but for a while,
And then another replacement of love
Was called upon to keep you safe, secure
And occupy your senses for a while
Not one distracted mind but seeks for love
And happiness, but knows not where to look
Be you their teacher; love has lit the way
And the path is laid out before you now.
With compassion as trusted compass you
Will be brought to problems thought not your own
To learn how much alike each is to all.
Mistake not multiplicity of form
For difference in content. What is One
Cannot have separate parts. So carry Love
Within your heart and give All unto all.
