Sink or swim

Sink or swim
 
Jesus walked on the water, bearing love
light as the froth sans the burden of fear. 
 
Peter followed, his faith in the authority
of that love keeping him afloat briefly,
 
before fear and doubt pulled him under.
Could Peter have summoned a greater faith
 
to follow anywhere the footsteps of Jesus?
Or was he doomed to failure?
 
In the realm of conjecture,
both extremes seem possible.
 
In the unfolding of God’s Whim
only one outcome could ever exist.
 
The illusion of duality, by polarizing
Oneness, keeps us from the certainty of fate.
 
O child of God, it’s either sink or swim.
You won’t know until the moment arrives.
