Cutting through all distractions, addictions and diversions,
all conflicting taboos, theologies, offenses and misunderstandings,
we will act only from this Universe Purpose,
we will develop abilities only in service to the Real,
we will bow to and venerate only the deepest Source of all Life
and we will only expect help from this direction,
the ration of what we need, freely given by the One.
We ask you to reveal our next harmonious step.
Show us the path which says, "stand up, get going, do it!"
which resurrects us from the the slumber of the drugged
and leads to the consummation of Heart's desire,
like all the stars and galaxies in tune, in time, straight on.
The orbit of every being in the universe is filled with delight.
When each travels consciously,
a sigh of wonder arises at the expanse, the abundance.
This is not the path of frustration, anger or annoyance,
which only happens when we temporarily
lose the way and become drained,
roaming too far
from the Wellspring of Love.
