I screwed up my courage
to take the jump
sanyas…I’ve been doing the ground work
for a year
fighting, doubting
deciding, finally, that it was
a reductionist philosophy
but knowing that if I came
Bhagwan and Rajneeshpuram
might wash my decision awayBut, in the end, it was his people
that made me see that
this is what I want
what I think life should be
and that the reason I hesitated
was because I doubted it could be sobut it is, here and now
and though these moments may endure
or wash away
they are right, now … and I am here
looking into a possible futureSo I finally came to a decision
grabbed my heart and went to apply
… and found out I must wait
eeeyyyyiiiii….!gallagher
