Auckland, March/01
(In response to a young man dropping out of an urban retreat)
Hey my friend . . .
What are you doing that’s meaningful with your life?
Are you birthing beautiful thoughts into the world?
Hey my friend . . .Are you awake?
Is the fire of passion lighting your way,
burning the demons of doubt and complacency?
Hey my friend . . .
When did you last stand under the stars;
the first tinge of dawn reminding of ever fresh mystery?
Or do you roll out of bed and go to work with repetitive sleepiness
dulling your life, like a chronic anesthetic?
Hey my friend . . .Where are your companions on the path?
Or have you taken to hanging out at the bar of ego conformity?
Hey my friend . . .Who and what do you love?
What are you growing in your garden?
Don’t think,”I don’t have time for this.”
Ah!
My Friend . . .Wake Up!
