let go of the past
it won't get any better
stop obsessing
forget about why
like Dipa Ma who lost everything
bedridden for years with grief
she one day awoke
from the dream
and is now lost in radiance
step up to the present
suffering in the world
is a distraction
don't go there
it's like analyzing a dream
there's no end to it
no resolution
just endless imagery
and distraction
soften your heart
that's where the gold is
step up to the plate
it's your turn
show what you can do
show them what you are made of
and why you're here
not to go shopping
or watch TV
it's your turn to lead
your name was called
you're next in line
do basic training
learn the fundamentals
and step up to lead
from darkness to light
from wilderness to the
Promised Land
you have no past
you have no future
you are here now
welcome
