Take a hike

Take a hike                                                                                                  

Take a hike and don’t stop until you are atop
a distant hill, looking down upon everything,

especially yourself, your thoughts and moods.
Go until you get outside of the dream.

Not a far piece really – a hair’s breadth away;
a hundred millenniums’ distance.

You know you will have arrived when you are
able to view yourself and the world fearlessly

but not at all benumbed or sedated.
All your cleverness will have vanished by then

along with your strategies and worries. 
You’ll be obliged to come up with nothing.

It will all be done for you.  Take a hike
and arrive where you always were,

being the being you truly are,
dreaming the dream from an elevated view

and realize forever you have hiked
and climbed all the way to the journey’s end.

O child of God, get the true perspective
by getting just a hair outside yourself.
