It is time to get to know this friend within,

and not be a stranger to oneself.

Close the doors to all the outward temporary show and begin to fathom the joy of the immortal,

that remains at peace, the ripples from the wind may stir the

surface of the pool at passing times.

These ripples are from the wind,

but the depths below remain deep and placid.

The warrior can battle the demons of arising

conflicts, and still maintain his

or her stance of inner composure.

This is the mark of the one who has achieved

some modicum of calm.

Even in the face of anger or disruption, one returns to

the constant as much as possible, for that is the underlying nature.

This is possible for anyone, from prisoners, to the most innocent human on the

face of this earth.

We all have our emotions, and then there is the one motion

of breath as it regulates the beat, and keeps the metronome steady.

The relationship with the Master

is beyond what we can comprehend with our understanding.

It is so on another scale.

There is nothing in this world that compares.

One is lifted so above, and there divinity is a timeless

actuality, and you both know you have never been apart. The longing to reach

becomes so mutual, that it raises the standard of what it means for two human

beings to love.

Devotion is the nature of this bond,

and compares to no other relation.
