Horseflies

Horseflies

O Beloved, You are the white horse Avatar!
We are a swarm of horseflies trailing behind.

Dropping Your earthly body, You became a great,
               celestial Stallion;
Magnificent - beyond imagination and conception.

Loosened from the harness of physicality
You regained infinite power.

Now a few of the horseflies have begun to buzz -
philosophical discussions

about words, meaning, priorities and agendas.
They argue about the direction the Horse should be led.

O child of God, how can a swarm of horseflies
control the direction of the great, celestial Horse?

And who would want to follow -
where horseflies lead?

O child of God, follow the great Horse within you.
Let His silent purpose lead you to the ultimate goal.
