Spiritual Warrior
Life offers us the opportunity
to become a Spiritual Warrior.
A warrior is one who bravely
goes into those dark areas within
themselves to ferret out the
Truth of their being.
It takes great courage, stamina
and endurance to
become a Spiritual Warrior.
The path is narrow, the terrain
rough and rocky.
You will walk alone: through
the dark caves,
up those steep climbs and through
the dense thick forest.
You will meet your dark side.
The faces of fear, deceit, and
sadness all await your arrival.
No one can take this journey
but you.
There comes a time, in each
of our lives,
when we are given the choice
to follow this path.
Should we decide to embark on
this journey,
we can never turn back.... Our
lives are changed forever
On this journey, there are many
different places we can
choose to slip into and hide.
But the path goes on.
The Spiritual Warrior stays
the course, wounded at times,
exhausted and out of energy.
Many times, the Warrior will
struggle back to their feet
to take only a few steps before
falling again.
Rested, they forge on,
continuing the treacherous path.
The journey continues. The Spiritual
Warrior
stays the course. Weakened,
but never broken.
One day, the battle, loneliness
and desperate fights are over.
The sun breaks through the clouds;
the birds begin to sing
their sweet melodies. There
is a change in the energy.
A deep change within the self.
The warrior has fought the courageous
fight.
The battle of the dark night
of the soul is won.
New energy now fills the Warrior.
A new path is now laid before
them.
A gentler path filled with the
inner-knowing
of one who has personal empowerment.
With their personal battle won,
they are filled with joy.
A new awareness that they are
one with the Spirit beams
as they go forth to show others
the way.
They are not permitted to walk
the path for others.
They can only love, guide and
be a living example
of the Truth of their being
