Notes About The Poem

Fear of Freedom

Inch by inch we progress, making inroads to entwine with soul, which in turn connects us to domain of love and light, present both within and without seeking but surrender of our mind, that our heart may be filled by bliss divine. No doing is needed toward this end, for we already are that essence, although not now so apparent, since maya grips us herein, confining awareness in a narrow band encircled by a dark mist of our fear. 30-July-2021

I love the light and life that radiates in the first stanza, and I appreciate the deep turn in the next stanza that pointed out our essence shines even when we are absorbing human pain. The format was also upbeat - I enjoyed it. If only everyone realized that we aren't humans seeking spirituality, but spiritual beings having a human experience. All the best... CayCay
