Maturing
We humans are here to mature,
And often it takes a thunderbolt,
To strike from beyond,
To deepen our understanding,
Test our resolve,
Bring us into a calm acceptance,
Awaken us to our soul nature,
To complete an initiation,
Like putting the final piece of a jigsaw,
Into its interlocking place,
That we can know our purpose,
Why we are here,
What Spirit would have us do,
And then to go on living,
Totally in ordinary ways,
Chopping wood and fetching water,
But with a light step,
And inner smile!
