Balance, the poised and easy flexing
to meet experience as it comes
Tai Chi on the high seas
while the lightening rips.

No fear to act, none to wait,
each as appropriate.

Will to avoid the ocean of error
least you never hear
the thunder’s laughter.

God welling up at every place
and everytime.

Snapshot … trinity
Snapshot … descriptions
Snapshot … a fixed rendition
of something
which is fluid and forever renewing.

Like pilgrims returning from Mecca
we carry the fragments
of things
glimpsed and photographed.

Through these walls of mirrors
and voices talking on every channel
stories both long and short
and men of every degree of integrity.

Through this the word and the will of God
must find us here.

The spirit lives within us
and to listen to it, become it,
you must listen within.

To follow that one note ever inward,
to avoid the traps of all those
who think knowledge can come
from without.

Only utter integrity can win through
the utter chaos of this world
and all that is non-spirit.
