the Way Ahead (New Year 2025)

Like the perpetual viruses
pervading our physical health
or the incessant infections
invading our communal Humanity
when we're feeling the
dead weight of dread
compounded by unbounded uncertainty
bearing down upon our
fragile sense of security
wearing down our increasingly
wobbly sense of sanity
it's hard to clearly
envision a Way Ahead
when the approaching weather
outside is frightful and 
inside is downright freezing
and the encroaching powers
are stealth and squeezing
and our collective Breathing
is gasping and wheezing
its way to exhaustion...

Yet within each
sigh of acquiescence
(from the Cosmos
or our Conscience) 
is subtle evidence
that the Wind
is Eternally Breezing

and within each
drop of condensation
(from the Skies
or our Eyes)
is tangible demonstration
that the Flow
is Perpetually Unceasing

and within each
flicker of illumination
(from the Stars
or our Scars)
is visible revelation
that the Light
is Determinedly Increasing...

So maybe
the Way
Ahead is
already revealing
its Self
to Us
and if
so then
the Way
to Be
more fully
set Free
from the
despair that
accosts and
exhausts Us
is to
Be Present
to what
Is innately
within Us
and right
before Us
knowing that
the Love
that made
Us is
with Us
and within
Us and
among Us
and always
for Us
and calls
Us to
reclaim Our
Divine Identity
and rejoin
that Hopeful 
Chorus that
proclaims Hallelujah
and We
Shall Overcome
Some Day
through each
way We
reach out
to each
Beloved One
in need
with Love
genuinely expressed
in deed
the Way
of Life
that came
to Us
as One
of Us
in Simplicity
and Humility
so that
It might
freely Flow
through Us...

Let It Be.
