How To See
I close my eyes in silence,
enter the inner elevator
and press “down.”
I look around as I descend
into the darkness inside.
What will I find this time?
Those many doors to open,
a multitude of voices to hear.
I tune in with wonder.
There is a voice that knows,
a light that shines the way ahead
one step at a time,
if I listen deep enough.
I trust the way will open.
I breathe deep and
feel the expansion begin,
opening inward and outward.
I wait expectantly
for that sense of what
is whole and true
that never fails to guide me.
I open my eyes.
I see.
