Spiritual Master

   Spiritual Master

Can you live with paradox

  and still find peace?

Can you live at the edge

  and still know the center?

Can you live between the seasons

  of rising and falling and know flow?

Can you live with the ache to know beauty

   and yet push nothing away?

Can you live with the universes, both inside and out,

  and still practice your dharma with ease?

Can you live with paying love forward

  without attachment to the results?

Can you live with a sense of stillness inside of tumult

  and know spiritual freedom?

Can you live in the state of presence being available

  for the next breath, step, thought, act?

Can you be the peace, love, beauty

  that you are without control?

Can you touch and be touched and

  live with the mystery of it?

Can you be a fearless blossom of grace

  open to both giving and receiving?

  Then you maybe a spiritual master.
