Reach Out

In the midst of confusion
and disappointment
and sorrow...

Reach out with your arms
and draw the Spirit into your being....

Reach out with your eyes
and behold the spectacle of
the universe that will guide and direct you,
simply because you asked.

Reach out with your heart.
Surround and enclose others.
Let your own pain be as a tool
to teach you understanding and compassion.

Reach out with your spirit
as it merges with the Great Spirit.
Believe in the balance of the cosmos.
Follow the path to consummation,
even when it moves in
unexpected directions
and the progress is slow.

Know that thine life is true.
Trust.
