Gift from God
Don’t lead your life, said my Lord. Tag along behind it.
Give it to God and let it wander where it will.
Don’t think of what happens to you as your life
but God’s creation, gift, game and adventure.
Not a plunging through but a parting of the foliage
to discover all along where it leads
and what within it is your task to perform.
Everything is locked by fate firmly into place
yet it is flowing, flowing, flowing.
Look upon your fate as following that flow.
The Avatar avowed He is one with karma.
Try to be one with karma also, said my Lord,
others and your own, while in your heart
knowing it could never have been otherwise.
O child of God, in Zen they named it tathata –
thusness or suchness.
You may call it gift from God.
