Wings on my Shoulder — a Gift to my Soul
I was fortunate one day, to sit at the feet of a master
Relishing the anticipation of some long forgotten wisdom.
Looking into heaven and searching the sun.
I walk barefoot in a treacherous land.
The Master looked into the depths of my soul, And said
“There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands.
You seek problems because you need their gifts”
“But Master” — I said in wonder — “I wish for no problem.
My only desire is to rest and live in the beauty of your wisdom.”
He turned to me slowly and with infinite patience thought the words
And they came clearly to me as if spoken with an amplifier.
“In order to live freely and happily, you must sacrifice boredom
It is not always an easy sacrifice”
And further,
“Every person, all the events in your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you”
