That very inner space

There is an old saying

Wherever you go

There you are....

Wherever I go

Whatever I experience

Whomever  I meet

the one constant 

is me...

that deep

that very inner space

where my core thoughts

core issues

core perceptions live

I can avoid this place

this very inner space

glancing in the door

when curious

or perhaps

when desperate

but often I dare not enter in

and it sits there

this place

waiting

waiting

and so it is

no matter what I do

what I accomplish

the relationships I develop

the love I find and lose

those things I want to avoid

return

sometimes with different faces

but still

I am brought full circle to them

again and again

I find myself standing

anxious 

at that door....

the stuff of my life

won't change

it is I who must change

in relationship to it

some times one just has to take a deep breath

and walk though the door

not alone

for the sacred goes with me

not alone

on the threshold

as I face the scary chaos

in that very inner space
