Will & Surrender

A choice.

A path.

A life

Is two things

Will

And

Surrender.

The Will to walk to the path’s end

The Surrender of

Expectation and conceptualization

The opening and unfolding of what you once called

Self

To something infinite and

Untamed.

From where does this greater Light shine?

Do you find it somewhere along the often winding, flickering roads of fate?

Do you find it at the gate or hands of time?

Do you find it deep in the latent chasms of the mind?

I mean… you can but I ask about the

Source.

That space that birthed the light, the dark,

And the course we’re all taking back to our

Origin.

It doesn’t much matter what you do so much as how you do it

That’s the reason why you can go as far as you’d like and find yourself

Back here

Before you knew it.

Not because you blew it, but simply because every journey is connected and fluid

Every path has its gifts

Every road its curses

Every frequency fraught with losses

And overflowing purses

But

Sole

Pursuit of any of these aspects is worthless

Compared to

Purpose.

The catalyst, the medium, the vessel to attain this

Is what Earth is.

If you find the strength to give up being in control

You might find that you never wanted to be

A life where we can predict every possible outcome seems

Haunted to me

To be daunted by the scale of this miracle

Is natural

There are system of order just beyond our reach

That we seek to find ourselves in

Ceaselessly

Is it not enough to be a part of things?

To have been manifested from the Sacred heart of things?

To be transmuted and divested from the Alchemy in the art of things?

Perhaps not.

But the path I walk leads to clear lakes of these concentrations.

Steady waters that quench the thirst of these contemplations

With the living flowing force

Of Will

And

Surrender.
