How better to be?

How better to be?

How better to be?

In times of sorrow and despair

Where the weak are belittled instead of held up and honoured

What do we look for in our leaders, these men, and women whose sacred power is to protect

Where do we turn when they fail us

Why do we listen to their narratives when they are only out for re-election

Of self-preservation and greed

We get misdirected and distracted by the other

By the life, they seem to live that is better than ours

We get left behind by our own self-doubt fuelled by digital hysteria

And what say you about the sacred path our forefathers and mothers once trod

Where is the ancient wisdom now

Is it lost within empty words

Is it left in a forgotten land deep beneath the waters

Is it in your hand but you do not yet see it

Is it with you, standing side by side, and yet you do not perceive it

Open yourself and let the words in

Trust thyself and be freed from the bondage of new media

Let go of what you think you know and open up to what is hidden

Rediscover the lost knowledge of old

Open up to the freedoms they bring, the blessing and the healing of your soul

These times of plague and sadness, of hatred and fear, of the erosion of our natural resources to fill the greed of consumption, these times feel dark and grim

But there is another way if you let that way in

There is another way if only you, and I, are open to it

Each treads their own path, but we need not walk alone

Each finds and fights their own way through a life of numbed senses to their ultimate demise

How better to allow that path to guide you in times of despair

How better to let yourself be open and vulnerable to all

How better to live now and not wait for tomorrow

How better to live, I do not know, but words bring me comfort as I allow them to spill forth on to an empty page, onto an empty screen, onto an open soul

How better to be? For that is the question
