Totally Free And Clear
(Or, "Being Completely Responsible")
I saw myself as the child,
but finally concluded that—
in reality—I was the parent.
I saw myself as the student,
then finally understood that—
undoubtedly—I was the teacher.
I saw myself as the apprentice,
only to finally comprehend that—
in all actuality—I was the master.
For, I saw myself as being totally
free and clear—and I finally realized
that means being completely responsible.

My Writing Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I saw myself as being totally free and clear—and I finally realized that means being completely responsible."
And this poem was also published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
