Here I am now, at an interesting juncture of life...
I hear the gentle beckoning of the inner song, and also the call of the outer march to destiny...
The melodies seem to be at odds with each other...
The inner song, soft, sweet and peaceful...
The outer march, full of effort, struggle, energetic and loud...
I ask, can I not immerse myself fully into the inner song...
Is it my ambitions, desires and pride, that drive me to march on?
Can I not surrender myself fully to that enticing inner melody?
I hear a laugh, saying you haven't fully surrendered, my dear...
For this apparent contradiction is only because you haven't immersed yourself...
What is inner and what is outer, when the Spirit encompasses all...
It is the same song, the same melody everywhere...
It appears to be different, because of perception, limited powers of hearing...
It says to me, let go, let go and listen carefully...
Quieten down the inner noise, remove the polluting thoughts...
It is but one song, let the inner and outer tunes, combine into one...
And dance, dance to this tune...
Dance just as the water drops of the stream dance...
As they make their way to the ocean...
There is no struggle, no strife...
No jarring notes, nothing out of tune...
Listen carefully and catch its rhythm...
It is indeed a joyful dance...
