What would it feel like
To have no fear of the future?
What if I could stride forward with confidence and faith
Knowing that whatever comes is medicine?
Assured that I will be equal to whatever task arises, or at least give it a good try?
What if the waves of change and destruction
Can be met with interest,
Free from anxiety?
What if death is not to be feared?
What if there is a path through the pain
A shining trail through the darkness
That can always be found by asking
And blazed with a light from within?
What if I could face a dark cloud of imminent doom with equanimity?
What if I could see the people vying to control the world
As aspects of the world mind
Unwilling to admit their tiny specks of power
Are actually minute particles
in a vastness
That can never be tamed?
What would it feel like
To lean in to the future grinning
Like leaning in to a strong wild wind
With arms spread wide
And hair whipping everywhere
Letting the forces that guide us
Have their way?
What would it feel like
To really trust the universe.
”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
