While wandering off the beaten road as I so often do,
I came upon a truth along the way.
A bit of wisdom, if you will, I'll share it now with you,
For this I've often heard the wise ones say:
It matters not what path you take while seeking out the light,
You need only know that all will be revealed,
For Love is the Center, Love is the Hub, and each path that you embrace
Is but a spoke upon the Cosmic Wheel
Love reaches out, it radiates, more brightly than the Sun,
More beautiful than anything you've seen,
And when you know the spoke you're on is not the only one,
You'll start to see the spaces in between.
They too begin just where you are, and reach out every bit as far,
They may not give you structured expectations,
But even so, you'll know you're perfect just the way you are,
And you'll reach your intended destination.
You need not journey all alone, if such is not your aim,
For surely there are many other folks,
Who have not found a dogma that they feel they need to claim,
They do their dharma in between the spokes.
So worry not, O Child of Light, be calm and take your ease,
And let your mind lay down its heavy load,
If you would have the path that's right, then take the path you please,
I'll be watching you, from off the beaten road.
