October-December, 2014
If I only believed what I know to be true
then my world would be different,
and yours would be too.
I’d take every step with the Light
by my side without shadows to shun,
or darkness to hide.
I’d listen each time I encountered
a fear to hear the wind whisper,
Fear not. I am here.
If I could but act the way I believe
instead of reacting to attacks
I perceive,
I could finally abandon this
shabby disguise, the layers of masks,
the roles I despise,
stop defending my misery and hoarding each wrong.
Then the Kingdom would open
where it’s been all along,
a placeless awareness that enfolds
you and I, for you shine
when I look with an innocent eye.
What changes is not the forms that we mold
— the world is transformed
by the way we behold.
In the presence of grace, I’d present
grace to you and your day would take
on a more luminous hue,
if I only believed what I know to be true.
