Why Not You?
A house divided against itself can’t stand.
Yet we separate ourselves into categories of woman against man.
Looking at the years of my life roll by, searching for the truth and asking GOD why?
When I find the truth will it be permanent? Will the truth stick to me like glue?
Infinity all wrapped up in the finite body, the question then becomes,
Why not you?
A steady stream flows from the vast ocean, streaming at its own pace.
The waves of the sea are all coming and going.
The beauty of nature blessing us with its perfection and grace.
Waving smiles to humanity its virtue is always showing.
Feeling the water in the palms of my hand, I ask myself;
What is the meaning of life? And how can this meaning reconcile all the pain and tragedy?
“Dear Lord I need help, maybe can I have a little clue?
Walking down the beach I bend down to see three words etched in the sand.
Why not you?
Looking to teachers, priests and gurus, my mind searches for the right way to live and be free.
A nature that I wish I could be, but the struggles are too strong, even for a powerful person like me.
One day a teacher asks “what is it that you search for and who is doing the searching?"
“It’s my soul, my spirit, my higher self that is looking to be free”
“Free from the pain of existence in this mortal body, always looking for and finding misery”
The teacher turns and says “look no further than the person asking the question”
“The freedom of life shows up when the questioner does not separate themselves from the question”
“So, why not you?"
Maybe when I die I will be free and able to see clearly the meaning and purpose of all that I call me.
“Why wait until you die, you can be free right here and right now, the answer comes in who you want to be”
“You will always be what you want to be, the wanting is seen through identity, that’s who you call the real me”
“So when you are saying me, look and see who you identify yourself to be”
“In that moment you will see that you are not your identity”
“But the Awareness of identity, the Awareness of the question “who is the real me?”
“The same road you take to find the answers is the same road that will lead you to this present moment”
“This present moment is the eternal now and from here there is no other”
“So when you want the truth to shine down in your life and bathe the flowers of your mind through and through”
“Feeling separated and lonely, like there is no way you can find out what is true, ask yourself”
“Why Not You”
