The Way

What do they say to do

when you are lost in the woods

Wandering in circles

Farther and farther

from where you want to be?

Sit still 

Wait for help

Wait for rescue

When I feel lost 

Like I am going in circles

getting farther and farther 

from myself

Then I sit

Still

Quietly

Focusing on breath

Focusing on nothing 

and letting everything come as it will

Feelings

Thoughts

Nothing

And very often I am shown the way

A knowing

A feeling

I do not always trust that part of me 

that knows the way

I want proof

A map perhaps?

To be your own rescuer

To trust your deepest self

The part that knows

Is sometimes difficult

But to do so will help you find the way
