Spirit tells me that

I cannot move beyond

What I am, but, that

I have moved beyond

What I once was, or

Where I once was,

Which is another way of

Saying the same thing.

We are moving forward,

He assures me, when I

Get discouraged and wonder

If I am going anywhere

Along the path of

Enlightenment.

Many grade three students

Want to be in grade five, but

We must accept that we can usually

Only advance one grade

At a time.

Trust me, He asks,

That we will get there,

Wherever there is,

And beyond.

But, for now, we are

Where we are. So,

Let’s enjoy who we are, now.

Living this moment

Brings us

 To the next one.
