Divine Intervention - Avatar

Divine Intervention His name was Lynn. We had nothing in common. I – a city punk, twenty something, High School grad, Ironworker. He – an upstate NY, college educated, beret-wearing, ”Spiritual Giant”. Recurring questions dogged this relationship…. ….”Who am I?” ….”Who is he?” …”Why have our paths intertwined?” I don’t believe he ever told me anything, just left trails of spiritual bread crumbs for me to follow. He always seemed to teach me lessons I didn’t know were being taught. Guided me with firm yet gentle words allowing me to unveil my spirit in the safety of his presence. I reflect often on this Avatar, this incarnate teacher, stopping on his journey to assist another in their quest. His name was Lynn. We had nothing in common. ©11/16/2017 submitted to – AVATAR – Poetry Contest definition – an incarnate divine teacher
