We live not so much as to what we are
As to what we are becoming.
But I suspect that what we are becoming
Is, in truth, what we really are.
This now merely a state of separation
Hastening toward unity, integration,
                     wholeness...
Up ahead, the road will become narrower,
                     rougher...
The journey will become increasingly
                     harder...
You may want to surrender...
                     take my hand...

Nothing fatal;
Nothing lost.

Through ceaseless change
you have always been,
always will be.

Existence exists,
it is said -
and nothingness
is in your
imagination.

A body,
consciousness,
and a name -
all this in certainty.

Yet I often sense
I am nothing more than
a question asked.

To achieve
conscious loving union
with God -
or to weep joyously
on my knees
before an execution?

"Take up your cross
and follow me"


A reference to the hellish
torture of crucifixion -
or, as perhaps was intended,
an allusion to
the austerity of the path?

You misled me, Preacher.

I needed the method,
not the blood.
