In Beauty

Willow 1/31/97

Before me lies a path, I have no choice but to walk it,
I know not where it leads, except it leads from all that is behind me,
and I walk in wonder, regard all as fresh and new, revel in the Beauty.

Behind me lies the past, no power to anchor me,
although what will be is the fruits of all that has happened.
Fond am I of all the love I have felt, of friends met and made,
Even those I can no longer see.

In my heart is my vision, the world I create, my art and my love.

In my head are my thoughts, my reasons, my will to make it all happen.

Above me are my gods, my guiding spirits, the sky, the moon and the sun.

Below me is the earth, which supports me.

All around me, this sphere in which I am centered, product and creatrix of all the Beauty I can see.
