lucky?

sometimes you’re just lucky
sometimes the universe conspires
to give you what you need
blessing you could say
even when you are least open
or least ready
butlast night me and the missus
and the closest freends
went to heara spiritual master
a Franciscana bald headed, poetry sprouting, nouwen knowing, mystic
of a man
we sat
patientlyt
he disorganization was
incredible
a push and shove of the faithful desperate to get in
(We were safe ‘cos we sent a scout ahead
we may want to be enlightened
but were not stupid)
announcements for this and that
items for sale
then the introductions!
wandering thoughts like a …
blog
but then he spoke
and you could tell in the first ten second
she knew
he’d been there
he’d experienced what he spoke
which gave him
power
humility
humour
he didn’t need to try and impress us
he spoke from his deepest self
and gave us
hope
insight
it was simple his message
listen
to yourself
to whats going on inside
let it be transformed
welcome the opportunity to grow
in happiness
in pain
it is our spiritual selves
wanting to be
human
in the fullest
most beautiful
sense
we left with light hearts
even after the rather odd singing experience!
drove home with our freends
talking and debriefing
trying desperately
to follow his advice
not draw thein/out
divide
not be god
and we were pretty good
for then
anyway!

but
tomorrow?
