The Cross-Walk

Every once in a while, a seemingly-simple email comes around that ends up being quite profound. This is one of them. I received this from my nephew, Karan Singh, who resides in Delhi and felt strongly that you would all enjoy and welcome the simple wisdom therein. I have written my own words as a meaningful text to accompany the meaningful illustration. Enjoy and share.

We often complain about the cross we bear, but don't realize that it is a gift of divine love preparing us for the dip in the road that we cannot see our self, but which our higher Self can!

“The cross you bear is so darn heavy
You wish you need not pay this levy.
Each time you experience another fall,
Another stumble to readily stall
The path you thought was going so well;
You wish you could climb out of this hell.

Hey, did you ever see with any clarity
That big picture pointing to eternity?
Did you ever wonder each time you fell
How soon you were up and feeling swell?
Ever consider the divine within
That constantly nurtures your every whim
Then picks you up in her warm embrace
In that very moment you feel out of grace?

When you do, you’ll know with certainty
Each fall was planned by your own divinity
To remind you of the lesson to learn,
To imprint on you at every turn,
To goad and push and lovingly provide
The experience you need to joyfully reside
Once more in that loving perfection you are,
Always have been, and for evermore!

Each moment is filled with experienced love,
Each moment a part of your learning curve, |
As such, you may not so easily see
Behind the ‘curve’ a miracle of thee,
Of thee that is so loving and wise,
Eternal perfection in every guise.”
