Travel takes me
To places I could never imagine
Experiences I could never dream
Worlds which seem alien
So I stay
Experience all I can
Give reign to imagination
Until the alien seems mundane
Travel takes me
To places I could never imagine
Experiences I could never dream
Worlds which seem alien
So I stay
Experience all I can
Give reign to imagination
Until the alien seems mundane
But every time
I find a wall
Which limits me
And makes me small
I push it back
A little way
Become a bigger
Man that day
But the wisest insights always come
When I turn away from all of these
And simply listen to the voice within
Which resonates best with my body
I visited
Many towns and villages
Where people lived in what I called poverty
The more I drove
The more I realized how much I have
But how little of it I need
I strive for healing
And the world becomes
Healers and the healing
Compassion, grace and service
I remind myself
While some have said
The light at tunnel’s end
Is an illusion
Sometimes I feel so luminous
As if anyone
Everyone
Can see my inner light
possibility
options
choices
consequence
that is life
it can be difficult
to find the branches
which lead to the light
Humans evolved
The mind to identify
The harshest conditions
A lattice
Of light
Into which
My darkness
Falls
