There’s a dance that must me danced,
A labyrinth that must be built,
A sky that must be flown ,
A lesson that must be taught
And a tree that must be climbed .
There is commitment,
That sometimes leads to obligation
Which can lead to resentment
A very important lesson to consider
When moving toward where Spirit calls:
When resentment comes, as it can do,
Recognize it for what it is,
Then recommit to the original joy
Or find another path with less conflict.
Then move forward again in a “good” way
Just as Spirit originally instructed.
This is my journey,
