Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me.
No wind can drive my bark astray
Nor change the tide of destiny.
The stars come nightly to the skies,
The tidal wave unto the sea,
Nor time nor space nor deep nor high
Can keep my own away from me.

Belief
A friend read me the above poem, then said, "I
don't know if I believe it. But it would be nice to believe."
And I thought, "Why not choose to believe it?"
Why not believe what gives us hope and brings us comfort? Given
the option, why not take the optimist's view? We can choose to
believe what resonates for us, what expands our options, heals
and nurtures us. We can reject beliefs that feel wrong, limiting,
or mean-spirited. Maybe we can even let go of old habits of belief
that no longer serve us.
If we're not sure what to believe, perhaps we can keep an open
mind, have the courage to dwell in uncertainty for a while, befriend
the Mystery.
Ok, maybe not. But it's a possibility.
Namaste,
(Honor the Light within),

"Arise up nimbly and go on your strange journey
to the ocean of meanings.
The stream knows
It can't stay on the mountain.
Leave and don't look away
from the sun as you go
In whose light you're sometimes crescent,
Sometimes full."
- Rumi
