At dVerse Mish is hosting Open Link Night, the night we make our own choice of poem to post.
dVerse Poets – Open Link Night

“Anything we experience, no matter how challenging, can become an open pathway to awakening.” Pema Chodron
If I Had A Light If I had a light I could see my way, or perhaps a map where I could chart a path, but it remains indecipherable, though neither dark nor fogged in my mind's eye, it is simply a discernment of journey, a surprise awakening, a not this, instead, perhaps this or that in a lived experience, all the richer for its misdirections, its hidden meanings, even its lack of clarity is a decided gift of discovery, which, in the end seems quite natural, a hindsight twenty-twenty, a reverse of understanding of how we go, not where or when we go, but, as we go we discover so much of our beginnings with self and the strive to transcend it. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
