This slow lesson
I seem to have to learn
so many times –
should be a simple thing,
and so it is, extremely so –
the lesson of the One

No being right for me
if it’s a wrong for someone else,
no inner constructs
dividing me from others,
no chambers in my house
kept dark by unkind thoughts,
nothing in myself that I deny

One truth to hold my threads together
One light to shine all the way through
One law to clarify all my perceptions
till I’m transparent, till I’m shone anew.
