Vantage Point
An assault to the self is most potent when viewed from the field below.
An assault to the self is diffused in proportion to how high you go.
From high, an assault is less personal when multiple aspects are known;
All the mechanizations, not just the self’s alone.
Blinders at the bottom, a limited view from the ground;
Perspective at the top, where insight and truth can be found.
Awareness lifts the soul to spiritual heights in the sky
Where a better sense of direction is seen peacefully floating by.
An attack to the self is most potent when viewed from the field below.
An attack to the self is diffused in proportion to how high you go.
From high, an attack is less personal when multiple aspects are known;
All the workings and cogs on the wheel, not just the self’s alone.
Blinders at the bottom, a limited view from the ground;
Perspective at the top, where insight and truth can be found.
Awareness lifts the soul to vantage points in the sky
Where a better sense of hope is observed peacefully floating by.

I want to show you the mountain and how high it is up there.
The breath is like no other. Inhale love. Exhale despair.
I’ll meet you in the valley. That is where we’ll begin our climb.
We will ready our gear with perspective, contrast, faith and time.
I want to show you the mountain and take you to its peak.
The view is like no other. Behold beautiful peace that you seek.
I’ll meet you in the valley. That is where we’ll begin our climb.
We will ready our gear with perspective, contrast, faith and time.
When we are at the top, we’ll look back at the valley below.
We will delight in our ascension, every step, and we will know.
We will not know from our minds. We will know from the Mountains pull.
Lifting us up to our power. Content with a heart that is full.

The Mountain

Acceptance of what is, acceptance of reality
Brings forth healing and brings forth wholeness, both blessings that set one free.
I trust You God. I trust You and my place within Your will.
I am grateful for Your love as You help me up the hill.
From there You help me see things from a different point of view.
I see purpose and I find faith that I am certain will pull me through.
I trust You God. I trust You and my place within Your plan.
I am grateful for Your love as You show me that I can.
From there You help me see that I am stronger than I know.
In Your light, fear has no power. It’s defeated and let go.
Acceptance of what is, acceptance of reality
Brings forth healing and brings forth wholeness, both blessings that set one free.
