Garden of Paradise

In my meditation this morning I went to TWOHAWKSNEST and re-read my own post "Hiking Through the Woods". I was reminded of a poem I wrote a few years ago. In a nutshell, it reminds us that while those who want to walk The Path of Beauty through the Garden of Paradise on Earth, though the admission is free, there is a gate of admission. One should sign the entry form. Its quite simple. It asks us to do a few things while walking The Path. We are asked to also agree to spend part of our time in the garden doing the work necessary to maintain the path.

Walking the Path of Beauty as a visitor, or as a part owner and therefore a gardener as well!

No one said it would be easy all the time. Sometimes the walk DOES include some downright hard work insuring the path remains easy access for others to follow. Aho!

Ah! The fresh raincloak that covers a willing ground, covering me.
Once the sun-god spit fire on me and I turned to ashes.
Once the rain-goddess threw her cloak over me and I became a river of mud.
Now I am once again running towards My Beloved.
When My Beloved spits on me again I will be his wedding groom
And the maid servant of his rain bride.
I will see that our marriage bed is well-groomed, and well-supplied.
Mud, ash or dirt, its all the same, if that is what will become of me,
Out of our love for each other
There's no need for blaming each other
Blame nurtures no one.
