To Victory and Beyond
How many layers need to be peeled away?
As many as possible
How many disapointments need to be faced?
All of them
How many tears need to be cried?
All you have for yourself and some spare for the world
How much pain needs to be released?
Every single bit
Sit with each guest as they arrive, invited or uninvited, it does not matter
Sit, listen, allow and then let them go
There is no time scale, no due date
Little by little, it just needs to be done
No short cuts, no borrowing someone else's notes
This needs to be all your own work
My story is my story
No one else can claim it
No one else can liberate me
I am the victim and the villain
I am the wise man and the fool
But ultimately I am the hero
With my sword of truth
I slice through the nonsense and I slay the lies
With my healing balm
I tend the wounds and I comfort the crying
With my light of courage
I go to the dark places and set the prisoners free
I am ever grateful for the hospitality of friends along the way
The food of kindness always renews my strength
I receive and give back as I am able
Sometimes it is good to rest with others
Whilst rembering that this journey is mine
Brother, Sister I kiss you as we part and wish you well
A salute to all those who bravely travel their own path
'To Victory and Beyond'
May it be on Earth as in Heaven
Amen
