A Journey Taken
when travelling
know where to start from
and you will always arrive on time
we are never going to get
out of this backwater
of self or that
greater planetary Self
on rocket fuel
fording light years requires
a certain stillness
each person
is a facsimile of this world
what is outer is also inner
what is above is below
when we get this
we can really climate change
good to be a metaphorical tree
better to be a root
where the eyes of the forest are
everything has a center
find that
and start from there
any meaningful journey
is beneath the path taken
ignore that watchful stillness
and you will lose your way
between A and Z
