I Am Where I Want to Be
No more questing in
the dry pages
of lost horizons, or
climbing mountains
in the Hindu Kush
searching for a fantasy;
and no more meditating
in walled Tibetan caves
or collecting wild
honey like a mendicant Sufi,
because I am where I
want to be.
I could be sunning
on a sandy beach in Florida,
cycling in Province,
or sipping espresso in Tuscany,
exploring new
writers for new thoughts and taking
up hiking or hobbies
like Tai Chi and Mediterranean
cooking, but life no
longer beckons me because
I am where I want to
be.
Not every acorn that
falls off the oak will grow
into its own tree,
only the seeds that take root will
become what they are
encoded to be; so it is with
every soul that takes
root in the humble soil of
its own garden,
growing where it has been
planted to become what
it’s meant to be.
