BECOME A MORE INVITATIONAL LEADER

Find that far inward symmetry
to all outward appearances,
apprentice yourself to yourself,
begin to welcome back
all you sent away,
be a new annunciation,
make yourself a door
through which
to be hospitable,
even to the stranger in you.

We shape our self
to fit this world

and by the world
are shaped again.

The visible
and the invisible

working together
in common cause,

to produce
the miraculous.

It may be that the ability to know the necessity for help; to know how to look for that help and then most importantly, how to ask for it, is one of the primary transformative dynamics that allows us to emancipate ourselves into each new epoch of our lives.

But the miracle had come simply
from allowing yourself to know
that this time you had found it,
that some stranger appearing
from far inside you, had decided
not to walk past it anymore.
