Neither too fast nor too slow
Coming at the proper time
Things delayed and put off
Knowledge unknown lessons unlearned
Feelings of love feelings of loss
Regret for the undone
Remorse for what has happened
Waiting for passion
Feeling it burning inside
Life unexamined for so long
Paths unexplored risks untaken
Then the lightning strikes
The continents divide and the sea parts
A chorus of angels sings from the heavens
The sun rises and lights the hidden places
Like the field left fallow and untilled
After all has been cleared away
New life springs forth
All the riches of the Earth come forth
New things are seen and heard
Wisdom whispers and begins to sing
Forgotten knowledge returns
Unremembered memories break through
The former paths are cleared away
Revealing new paths beyond expectation
New vistas stretch as far as the eye can see
The journey never ended
The sleeper was always awake
The only way here is through what was before
No step was in vain
No struggle was meaningless
The anguish and pain were the teachers
The responses training the heart and the soul
Never a victim
Freed from an imaginary prison
existing only in the mind
Unshackled from fears and doubts
Running towards the light of a new day
Embracing each new moment of life
Celebrating oneness with all that is
Feeling the fullness of the Universe within
The grand connection between the mundane and the divine
The journey was necessary to reach this place
The struggle endured to survive the past
Looking back down the mountain
Wondering why
Why not sooner, why not easier
Looking up towards the heavens
Seeing the ultimate goal
Hearing the voices of those coming up the path
And of encouragement of those ahead
Knowing that this is the way
Feeling those who are guiding
And those who must be guided
Moments come and then go
All exactly when and where they should be
Happening at the time when needed and necessary
Neither too fast nor too slow.
