Step Aside 11.06.11

STEP ASIDE

11-6-11

I see the mist, it gradually thickens, 39 and cold.

Nobody seems to mind, though.

Another day on the way I take a loop out by the street,

giving the dogs a treat, don't often go this way.

Weekends are light no traffic today.

Just then a pick-up truck scurries us off the street.

A change of course, kind of like my life.

Things change.

Off to work, when I get home stuff to do a trip to take.

Next week I'm off to see folks back home

even though I haven't lived there for 22 years.

Boy, has it been that long?

It's still home though where I was raised anyway,

back to my roots, where I started.

It parallels all that I read in a way.

Seeking the Spiritual Self,

back to my Spirit.

That's a more challenging road home.

I read a lot of David R. Hawkins.

He states once you start on this road you don't get off.

I remember months ago my Hospice gal

she saw the change in me, up close.

Sooner and closer than anyone else,

then asked, "will you ever go back to being the old you?"

I didn’t even wait to respond my response was “how can I?”

I look back at that day now

it’s like witnessing the birth of your child

and being asked “will you love it?”

Once I got a glimpse of my Spiritual Self the journey was underway.

It had been for years I just hadn’t noticed.

 So many instances come back to me just for everything that ultimately

led up to that one point in time when I just knew I was not alone.

I’ll never be alone again now I look for a deeper understanding

I read and listen intently I try to become even more aware.

So aware of how little I really know.

Yet so blessed to have received this gift, share it I must.

For I know some I’ve already touched.

I remember the early days telling my Hospice gal

I’ve got a compulsion to share but share what?

Not that I know anything grand

but I know far more than I knew

just a couple years ago.

For that, I am grateful.

That’s the rub things get revealed in their own time.

The ego wants to rush, but this cannot be rushed.

That’s why I don’t just read of spiritual stuff

I read it and read it again.  For some things need time.

Then they just suddenly make sense.

 I hope this makes some sense to you.

Your spiritual consciousness can be your guide,

if you can get - your ego - to step aside.

All My Love Always, Keith

Like the ego itself, the whole story is imaginary.

One does not even have to destroy the ego or even work on it.

The only simple task to be accomplished is to

let go of the identification with the ego as one’s real self!
