Awake to reflection

DOROTHY P. SEAGREN

I am awake to reflection!
I cannot be duped into a lethargic stupor
not knowing which road to take.
I can't be lulled into hearing incessant
tuggings as to the rightness and wrongness
of path a or b or c.
I am not in the middle of cluttered confusion
battling between divine direction and stubborn will
not knowing what is mine to do.

Instead
I am always at the standpoint of knowing,
not wondering, where I am now and where I am going.
Held in the constant affirmation
of Mind's ever-present oneness
I walk as God's obedient reflection
always hearing when and where
to place footstep
ahead of me.

Awake to reflection
I am at peace, always knowing,
always knowing I am at peace.
