“The Gift of Every Step”
By: Forrest Rivers
My mind is racing
As a preoccupation with today’s worries consumes me
My heart pounds harder and my chest feels heavy as lead,
I inhale a long deep breath and then exhale
My heart’s pounding rhythms subside
And my chest begins to loosen,
Remembering that God is this moment
I acknowledge the majestic forest I walk through
The forest acknowledges me back–
With a thick blanket of mountain mist,
My vision clouded
I rely on intuitive sense to guide me along the steps
That my faithful feet know all too well,
Climbing higher still
I grow inspired as the top draws near,
With every step
I feel the illusion of separation start to dissolve
As I chart my path back to the Eternal One,
Arriving at the mountain top I discover:
I AM and I HAVE BECOME.
Lovely…
