The Undiscovered
It may take a lifetime of travel
but eventually you will
reach the undiscovered.
When you do
you will wonder
why it took you so long
to find this place
that was always so near.
You will see
that this great development
is expanding still
the way a construction site expands
both up and outward.
You will realize that you have been
building this place secretly
while you moved toward it.
For you are not just one worker
but One Creator, and you have
all the skills of the many.
It is even now taking shape.
Mansions and palaces abounding
some only half finished
some complete and astounding.
You will be amazed at how
amazing you are and always
have been.
Each time you close
your earthly eyes now
and rest at peace within yourself.
another shining city
complete with delightful gardens
takes new form in that place,
and that place
is where you are now
waiting to be discovered.
