There is an ancient forest
steeped in mystery and grace.
Silent, deep, luminous,
brimming with vitality
and perfectly, unimaginably
enchanting.
In this forest
there is no sense
of lack or constriction,
only unbounded
fullness and peace.
Here all the wonders
of existence are known,
and wildly, ecstatically
embraced.
Eternity lives in this forest
as the ever unfolding
expression of time.
There is no set route
to the forest,
nor an easy map to follow.
Each traveller must discover
the way for themselves.
Mostly the forest lies unknown
and travellers journey
in ignorance of its existence
meandering through their days
unsure of their potential or purpose.
If by chance you do find your way in
you will meet with a tremendous surprise,
for this luminous, mysterious forest
is immediately recognised
in all its familiar glory
as being none other
than your very own Home
long since abandoned,
waiting silently for you to return.
