The One

 All the lessons of my life are one:

 I control nothing outside myself,

Yet my decisions affect all.

           

All the power of my life flows from one Source

I exist in Love as a fish in water,

Wholly sustained.

All the decisions of my life are one:

To rest in Love and to forgive,

Accepting absolution.

           

All the time of my life is this one moment:

 I affirm the past and await

 The promise of the future.

I listened to a wonderful lecture last night by Ken Wilber. He said that issues of spirituality, faith and religion are more important than global warming (or any external problem, I assume.) He laid out developmental levels of states of consciousness. The above poem was written in a moment when I experienced, however fleeting, the integral level.
