How do you choose a side?

In the presence of grace, guided by an everlasting Know

The understanding of one's fate at times ceases to be shown

The human experience

Wraps us with questions and doubt

The faithful perseverance knows that the Will will be done,

Irrespective of how.

Is the guiding light

Of the journey, the route

To counteract those hesitations

With further plunge into the Source throughout?

As I walk in my life

As I strive with great zeal

To remain steadfast

To remain faithful, direction clear.

I encounter many feelings

That inside my body take form

When the journey's next destination

Has not yet brewed or shown course.

The body clams

The palms perspire

The chest feels heavy

The heart becomes tired.

The mind and soul

May have an inkling, a hunch

There is conflict inside

As the world says, in your life, to have assurance.

Create a said plan.

Formulate your roadmap.

Thoroughly prepare for each step

Have confidence in each act.

When the being inside

Connects with the unearthly, unseen

When the being inside

Is connected with the Source through life scenes.

The senses coming from inward

The guidance shared by the Light

To the world and society

May not sound possible or quite right.

The plan may not be finished

There may not be a full roadmap.

Preparations may be unknown

To the world, perhaps full assurance cannot be grasped.

In those moments that come

Where those two sensations arise

Like an imbalanced scale

How do you choose a side?

This is a great fear

As I navigate life's steps

How do I ensure I walk forward

Into the Guided route of progress?

Those perspiring palms

The clamminess that spreads

Those insecurities set in

As I doubt my discernment among the rest.

How do I know it is right?

How do I discern to see?

How can you be sure as you navigate?

How can you be sure as you be?

How can you push past the door

So heavy in weight

Of human and earthly doubts

That keep us from the Gate?

Sometimes it feels impossible

Even if I try with all my might

No muscle or strength can stand victorious against the weight.

Then I think in my mind,

Is the true message of the feat

That we can, in fact, go

If we peer down the lens of Belief?

If we can recognize the reality

That both things can be true.

We can worry in our minds

We can recognize fear in our brain

And we can choose to hold steadfast

To the Guidance that remains.

We can step forward amongst the unknowns

We can proceed with a roadmap, incomplete.

We can pray through the worries

Through hard work and conviction, our route will be seen.

The palms may be sweaty

The palms may be wet

Though we can still wipe them dry

And grasp the object to be kept.

Our body may tremble

As we experience doubts.

Though we can pray through the discomfort

And breathe to soothe those trembles throughout.

Do we ever fully know where we are going?

Are roadmaps ever fully complete?

Perhaps, in all instances,

Grasping to Grace will propel the planned scene.
