Strength
Is not
Keeping your head
Above the waves
It is sitting calmly
opposite
an advancing typhoon
Perfectly unstirred,
And perfectly unimpressed
By nothingness

Strength
Is not
Overcoming
But remembering
Your immeasurable
Greatness

It is surrendering
Yourself
To the pull
Of the seabed
And laughing
At the notion
Of death

Oh you fish
You child of Grace
You can do me no wrong

My chains are loosened
The prison door is open
Nothing holds me in this world
Only my wish to stay
keep me prisoner

-W 57:1:3,5,7-8 *A Course in Miracles

young girl
setting sun
her world colored
A beautiful farewell
secretly she wishes
To set like the sun

Your Great Inheritance
waits patiently within
As you turn over every stone
In the world
Bordering insanity
Looking for it
