Brother,
Stand unashamed 
In the truth 
Of your enquiring self. 

You are he 
Who must ask questions 
To quench his thirst. 

You cannot fight 
Your birthright 
Or the way 
You are in the world. 

Rest in this knowledge 
That the path is right,
And your place on it 
Is where you must be. 

There is a deep truth 
In acceptance 
Of all 
That you are

And all you have taken on. 
Only this 
Will see you transformed
And untransformed.

How you are 
Is the truth 
As it stands 
In the moment.

There is sweetness here 
Even while bitterness 
Is tasted.

There is great freedom 
To be powerless
Before God

To be as He is

To be as He is.
