Today we ride

What is asked of me, you,
In this time of hope and
Despair and dull edged blade
Sawing its way through the
Gristle of life, gruesome,
Pulling away that which need not
Or crippling that which could?

How to step forth into that
World we wish to see without
The trap of action for action's
Sake, movement to avoid that
Grief of sitting with what needs
Be, activity to put aside the
Fear that we know not now?

I don't know, I don't
Know what, where, how and
When. Why is covered, the
More beautiful world wants to
Be born, calls for all who can
To birth it, to be bathed in the
Love of living for one another.

And so the question becomes,
How to birth that which will
Be born, and the answer is
Something like living in flow,
Letting that innate, guided truing
Of Spirit to move through you
Working you and your divine gifts.

My mind reckons that's a pretty
Shit answer. My mind wants it
Laid out. Do this, follow that,
Avoid these ones, apply yourself
Here. Bring this specific gift in
That particular way and you
Are thus a good boy, and yet...

And yet, it seems there is no more 
Good Boy, seems we are in new 
Lands, lands wild and unseemly,
Lands maudlin and delightful with a
Horde galloping down hills surrounding
Whopping, crying and calling, for today,
Today we ride into a new world.
