Passage Twenty-eight: Becoming More
Becoming is more involved
Than deciding to and doing.
How you are is the result
Of much more than your thinking.
There are many kinds of momentum.
We rarely stop or turn on a dime.
We cannot control, but guide.
The touch with which you guide,
The ways that you regard,
Determine
The directions you are able to go
And help others to.
A gentle touch is stronger,
A kind way more profound
And more effective.
One with genuine concern
Need not have an answer,
But is an answer.
Learn to be that way
And you will find
There is no end
To what that can accomplish
And there is no end
To where that leads.
The question then becomes:
How does one become
More caring than one is?
It is accomplished
Little by little,
But not step by step.
If there were only
Logical progressions,
There would be no progression
In ways like these.
We are capable of seeing before
We are capable of being.
We set our hearts upon.
We pray for help becoming.
We reach up,
Not even knowing how,
And we become, not all at once,
But no less miraculously.
You learn to count on
These kinds of miracles.
You count on them whenever
You reach a dead end.
You count on them when logic
Can take you no farther.
