We yearn to know which way to go and for a time we may follow for surely we think someone else knows which way to journey to get there which way to go
And as we follow something deep within whispers not that way luv ug but over here now this…and we wanna nod and say yes to that inner but the masses are following and they’re doing it over there true tis
And so begins the inner conflict
Of wanting to follow
Yet wanting to listen to the quiet “this way”.. the inner whisper’s “this “
And so we do a little bit of both
Yet you cant really get anywhere if you’re neither full on following nor leaning in to that “this way” go
But we try to convince ourselves we just need to try harder with both and benefit from all of it
Yet the followers have expanded and explored dozens more ways
And the quiet within still summons “hello? Over here… this way…” And the thing about tone and manner that’s always stuck
When a summons is gentle and welcoming it’s real and authentic
And when a mandate insists and rather tells one to go follow
Well it’s kinda offputting and maybe that’s he whole point of this poem ?? Are we going and following
Or responding to the inner “this way”
Can we distinguish the difference between gentle and dictated mandates?
Has Love ever had rules or games to play?
Has it ever been about conditions or ultimatums or hierarchical top downs demanding “that way”?!! Oh tis true seems ever a choice
will we follow or perhaps choose to heed the inner still voice
Maybe it’s not really a choice at all if we stand still and know “this way this moment Love will show “
Then It’s not s choice of either or , or when
It’s a matter of being conscious awake and fully engaged in what is at hand
No now not enough
No now not there
No now lacking an ounce of anything it needs
For us to full on be all who we each are and show and life how much we care….
As for a path I’ve not found it’s linear
It’s messy and cloudy and seems vague if we try to outline or map it fully as a destination for someday way over there
Rather is the moment what seems to hold most direction
For right here
Right now
We each can hear our “this way” song in whatever direction …
