whoa! it is quite rare that i fall in love with a poem and this one really caught my soul. ;)
There is a
Cloud of Unknowing
Always beckoning us
Across our precarious
And dangerous deserts
of
Inevitable uncertainty.
There is a Way
Of seeing
And receiving
And enjoying
Invisible secrets
Endowed
from the
Impregnated
Womb
of
Time and Space and Wisdom.
Sometimes
We listen
Without understanding.
Sometimes
We look
And never comprehend.
Sometimes we
See illusions
And think
They are reality.
Sometimes we
See things
Without actually
Seeing them
As they are.
Indeed,
“Truth is in
the eye
of
the beholder.”
All our perceptions
Become gambles
when
We blindly laud
Our
Limping interpretations
As reality.
Our grand illusion
Is to believe
that
what we see
is
the whole truth.
So we remain
Blindly ensconced
In our rancid,
And rigid
Old wineskins.
And yet,
There are those
Rare ones
Who see
Through
The
Eyes of the
Heart,
For they see
What is invisible
To those
Who think
They can see.
Their perception
Transcends
Mere rational
And physical.
They transcend
The dualistic
And literal
Perceptions of those
Who think they see
But do not see.
Enlightenment,
Repentance,
Paradigm changes
And
The courage to
See what is
Mandates
The mentorship of
The
Spirit of the Depths
Within
One’s Soul.
When we meet
Such rare ones
We encounter
A contagious energy
That spills out
Like
The
Balm of Gilead.
Like Ezekiel of old,
The Inner Eye
Encounters a
Larger world
Of Reality,
No longer
Restricted and constricted
By
Mere
Rational thinking
Or literal seeing.
Today we celebrate
One such rare soul
Who has been
Gifted with
Eyes that see beyond
What we
Take for granted,
What we think
We understand.
Through his
Eyes of the heart
He has gleaned
And bestowed
Upon all of us
A lifetime of
Fruitfulness.
By his own choices
And through his
Refined suffering
He now models
For each of us
A depth of perception,
A
Quality of life,
A
Joy and presence
Without limitation.
How loved you are.
