The power of purpose (Part 4 of 4)

It is only later in life,

far down the tapestry

of doing life

that the power of purpose

seems to be buried

beneath the agendas,

the responsibilities,

the upkeep

of cultivated identities,

and the contractual agreements,

that the power of purpose

has all but lost

its essential source place

of being.

We may catch a glimpse of it

under a spontaneous set

of special personal circumstances

but to rekindle or reclaim

is all but out of the question.

The present momentum of being

does not really subscribe

nor possesses

the essential knack to re-enter

that wellspring of being

in an authentic self-present way.

Anyone who authentically re-enters

this state

is subsequently obliged

into a simultaneous split sense

of self-situation

where by one part

is grateful to function metaphorically

as if they have won the lottery

and therefore

redistribution of the wealth

is responsibly in order

and second,

they are under

the speculative scrutiny

of everyone near

for breaking the contractual code

of projecting

a somewhat uniform placate being.

This zeal, when lit,

provides for an apparent

transformational environment

that can feed others

from their inside out.

Purpose is not the billboard.

Purpose is hardly the manifest.

Purpose is an alignment

from within.

The power of their presence

is life force applied

as their consciousness

becomes the embrace shared,

from their power of purpose . . .
