Meditation on Light

A colleague sent the following poem...

Light

The light may feel far away.
Brighter than day
deeper than night
it lights the way to

peace.
Yes peace

is real and true and whole,
and even though we may not

    see it

light follows us
from day to day
town to town
from your deepest heart
to the hand you hold.

Perhaps it's a tree
or eight candles.
Perhaps it's Buddha
or Twelve Steps.
Perhaps you are lost

    waiting to feel
    the warmth
    of the season.

Know this, my friend,
light enfolds you
unfolds you
caresses your deepest fear
into the glow of compassion,

holds the gentle heart
of desire
with acceptance and love
transforms suffering
into joy

It is yours.

Ken, Your poem is a beautiful reminder to feel the light and love that is always available to us. I'd like you're permission to put your poem on my website, but I don't know how to contact you. If you read this please contact me at http://www.goodtherapy.org on the about us page. Cynthia, I love your blog and can tell you're a sweethearted person, Noah :)

Noah,
thanks for the comment. Look at the end of the poem, there are links to two of Ken's websites.

Ken is a fantastic poet, and a good person.
Cynthia

Oops. Thanks Cynthia :)
