It's one thing to trust when
 we're flowing downstream,
our hearts buoyant,

choices easy,

effortless cooperation 
in a sweet stream of synchronicity.

How do we fare though
 when our way is steep, 

and we meet
 obstacle after obstacle,

only to see the path ahead

lead up a sheer mountain wall?

Do we judge a path to be worthy

solely when it flows with ease?

How would a salmon answer that question,

or a bird migrating across entire continents?

There are always deeper tests of our vision, 

deeper tests
of whatever it is we count on 

to guide us on our way.

At times a lack of flow can indeed be an indicator 

to help us realize it's time to release our agenda 

and have the patience to allow a new pattern to unfold,

a new door to open.

Sometimes though,
relaxing our determination
 and our commitment
to a particular direction

would amount to self-betrayal.

At these times warrior lessons 
come thick and fast,

and obstacles are not evidence of a wrong turn

but an opportunity to learn
about expanded capacities
of courage and perseverance.

If we depend on external signs of ease for guidance, 

at some time or another we'll end up lost, 

doubting ourselves when the sky grows dark

and adversity comes to the fore.

But all of us,
every single one,

are free to know what truth feels like in our bones

in the silent glow of our innermost core.

With this core as our rudder,

we can be resolute

no matter the circumstance.

This is the vision, 

the trust in ourselves, 

that can lead us all the way through.

This is the guide that illuminates the path worthy of our faith.
