This Perfect Moment

Behold your own glory in this precious perfect moment

Behold the place you are

in all its undulating beauty

Allow the breeze of your own making

to flow across the field of your being

and toss you too and fro

For you placed it just there

in order to feel something

so be sure to know it

and feel it before you leave

Where you stand

hand in hand or alone

be there in yourself

present in the moment as it is

to find your footing as it is

Know that the green pasture

you see afar and desire to drink

is not but a glimmering oasis

do not make yourself thirsty

simply by not drinking of

the abundance you already stand in

Be careful that your desire to change

and steer a new course into a better dream

is not rooting only in the fact

of your unwillingness to truly see

the high ground upon which you may already stand

even when you are sinking to the neck

in the quicksand of your self imposed suffering

Meaning to me stand tall and open

drinking into yourself what is offered

as your dream awaits your participation

rather than disbelieving what could be

never realizing it already is

if only you would open your eyes to see

So before you jump yet again

as is your wondering and restless way

be aware of where you are now

before you set sail to a new harbor

where you will only miss meeting yourself again

Shake your own hand goodbye

looking into your own loving eyes

accepting all you have made yourself to be

before you turn away to a new day

Only in knowing yourself

and loving yourself truly complete

can you find what you have come to see

So as the night turns cold or warm

as you prepare for the season's change

Behold your own glory in this precious perfect moment
