i pray

to behold and carry the light
to love and to serve
to be complete within myself
without limitation

to quench my suffering with wisdom
and the patience to allow the divine flowering

the promise

just as the seed contains all it will ever be
the future of man is determined upon his birth

not every seed will flower
not every man shall bloom
yet all is perfect
for through the cycle of birth and death
the promise of attainment is inevitable

whether you be a rose, tulip or wildflower
in this illusion of time
each moment reveals your destiny

and do not mistake “will” as your own
for this is the play of the ego (the false-self)
remain the witness and observe divine force surging within
perform action only as His instrument
and delight in His flow
be the river and the course shall follow
