" Be Still And Know That I Am God "
.........................................................
I have found out in my life
that you can't bank or place
your complete trust or faith
in any one single person
as Johnny Cash was fond of saying
in the end, they all go away
and they are welcome
to their Empire of Dirt
for you have to be true to yourself
and listen to your own judgement
and take your own stock and counsel
no one can do it all by themselves in this hapless world
you would be a fool to believe that
this dimension was not built for heroes
or one man bands, or fortresss mentality
in the final analysis
you will only isolate yourself even further
and box yourself in a corner
with no hope of escape or liberation
or route to salvation or enlightenment
rather you must learn to integrate
and still retain your sovereignty
by bringing all your powers to bear in your zone
and opening up all lines of communication
with the outside world
and playing to your strengths and assets
there will come times of difficulty
and periods of perplexity
that is when you need superflous intervention
your Creator is at hand
with an open heart for you
and infinite power at your disposal
you only have to tap in to the higher power
with faith and full confidence
and harness the unstoppable momentum of the universe
it is as simple as that
why complicate your existence
anymore than necessary
take a tip from someone in the know
listen to the voice of experience
I have a little inside knowledge
that will set you on the road again
if you are willing and compliant
to listen and learn
here is what to do
stop this moment all your earthly struggles
and put new direction and focus in your way
mark it upon your blackboard
and paste it in your computer
step back from what you are doing
and just believe that your God, my God
has been with you all along
