 DESTINATIONS - From There To Here and Here To There

One Man's Story


He looked at the world, without really seeing.
To really see the world, he had to look without
Ego
Anger
Preconceived notions
Of what the world should look like
What the world should act like
What he owed the world
What the world owed him.

He looked at the Universe, without really feeling.
To really feel the Universe, he had to touch within
His heart
His spirit
His soul
Within the Energy of All That Is
That is here
That has been
That has yet to come.

He looked at the flower, for the first time he saw.
The World and the Universe
Contained within the beauty of one small Gardenia
Perfect in its imperfection
Imperfection as our being human
Human and flower part of the same magic fabric
And both precious in God's eyes
Connected forever
To the World
To the Universe
To each that is and will be
And finally being seen through the eyes of love.
