Your Being: Larger and Deeper than You

For your being to delight
For your future (if it is) to be just, joyful, and good,
Manifested reality must not be exactly like you envisage
In your mind

You must be inspired beyond your own images
You must break through the worldly tyranny
Of expectations and assumptions

And be remade anew by experience and grace

Real growth is impossible without this

You are not the author of your own spirit
And if this spirit is to guide you,
You must commit to following,
Opening to something much deeper and larger

Much deeper and larger
Than the you that hangs by a thread
To that tendril of spirit called the soul
The spark of divinity
That leads like a golden cord

To the substance and voice of creation,
To the substance and voice of God
