Just Beyond Yourself

This poem held me in all of my artistic, creative and deep courageous spiritual ventures.

May you feel the Truth within it too.

Just Beyond Yourself

It’s where you need to be.

Half a step into self-forgetting

And the rest will be restored by what you’ll meet.

There is a road always beckoning,

When you see the two sides of it closing together at that far horizon

And deep in the foundations of your heart at exactly the same time

That’s how you know it’s the road you have to follow,

That’s how you know it’s where you have to go,

That’s how you know you have to go

That’s how you know…

Just beyond yourself

It’s where you need to be.
