Catch Fire

Catch Fire
3/11/11

I love to hear stories
about struggles and redemption,
forever rooting for underdog to succeed
in life, sports, movies, world,
as it feels like authentic mirror
reflecting some universal paradigm
of indomitable Source called 'Life Force' ...
earth's blade of grass piercing concrete,
water's ability to circumvent any obstacle,
air as omnipresent invisible potent resource,
plus flames of spirit that fuel creative freedom ...
so when reconnecting with old friend,
a Finnish lass and sister in 'Earth Wisdom'
recollecting our experiences since 'Ehama Institute',
hearing of her long, winding road afterward
filled with challenging dark days of soul,
there was feeling of amazement, awe,
of what a human being can endure,
adapt to, while on Herculean mission
we each have as our trail unfolds,
uniquely, within great dance of Existence,
leading to most valued treasure
which is truly knowing one's 'Self',
celebrating 'your' rare combination of ingredients
while loving every small and profound aspect,
then to 'catch fire', unafraid to shine light brightly.
